Gnus allows me to score articles based on various header-based criteria
such as Organization, From, Subject, and most beautifully, Xref.
Everything past a certain threshold gets chucked in the bin
automatically.  I'm not sure how well-equipped other readers are on that
matter, but I would expect Thunderbird to be capable of basic filtering
as well (it works for mail).  I don't see any spam on here whatsoever,
with very few rules in place.
