Reading again through the page you originally referenced, I find this:
| As some spam is likely to get through anyway, you might want to have a
| nifty function to call when you happen to read spam. And here is the
| nifty function:
|
|
| (defun my-gnus-raze-spam ()
| "Submit SPAM to Vipul's Razor, then mark it as expirable."
| (interactive)
| (gnus-summary-save-in-pipe "razor-report -f -d" t)
| (gnus-summary-mark-as-expirable 1))
Unfortunately, my elisp skills are too weak to understand what this
does.
