While it hasn't made the list useless, it is indeed a major pain in the ass that's fairly recent. I've been on this list about a year and haven't had this bad a problem before.
It's a nasty problem that shouldn't be minimized. Many users won't (or
can't)
take "heroic" steps (spamassassin,mailfilter,etc) but will abandon the list as a resource instead.
Nothing heroic about installing spamassassin.If I can do it nobody else should have a problem with it.

True. What I did was even simpler.
cd /usr/local
wget http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/releases/0.3/thunderbird-0.3-i686-pc-linux-gtk2-gnu.tar.bz2
tar jxvf thunderbird-0.3-i686-pc-linux-gtk2-gnu.tar.bz2
ln -s /usr/local/thunderbird/thunderbird /usr/local/bin/thunderbird
Now I have a great slick mail client, which also happens to do adaptive filtering and catches most of the spam right from the get-go.
