Details
A UI for importing and exporting *user-selected* filters would be extremely
useful. Most users don't want to/don't know how/are afraid to set up
filters. Furthermore, there are a number of useful filters that you won't
figure out unless you are good at formal procedural logic, pattern recognition,
*and* have time to study a spam corpus.
Right now, it's difficult enough to share filters that people generally don't.
Even Outlook2xxx, which has import/export, doesn't fully do the job because you
have to import/export the whole thing. Joe doesn't really want to delete all of
Jane's filters that don't apply to him. Joe *especially* doesn't want Jane's
filters to overwrite his own!
Note that because this is an inherently DEcentralized anti-spam scheme, it is
less vulnerable to spammers figuring out how to bypass it. It leads to a
diversity of immune systems, so to speak.

This bug won't become really useful until mozilla can support a tree structure
for its filters (think of selecting only the parent of the spam filters instead
of the 150 individual filters it encompases), so depending on bug 151226.
Depends on: 151226
