Mid-2002, Apple release an update to Mail.app that contains a sophisticated, and particularly effective (although with one annoying behaviour) spam-filter. The filter accurately bins 90% of my spam (in the order of a hundred a day), with only incredibly rare false-positives. The Panther version of Mail.app promises to include additional support to integrate with ISPs that run server-side spam-catching tools such as Spam Assassin or Brightmail.
Mid-2003, Bill Gates makes a grand announcement that it's time to deal with spam. Well, soon. When they get around to it. (After all, we haven't got that Trustworthy Computing thing they promised last year yet)
Wow, I'm really quite enjoying being one of those smug Mac users.
Smug indeed, considering the Mac mail reader only just got the ability to read messages by thread.
But I have to agree that Apple are at least, ooohhh, 300 days ahead of Microsoft on building spam filtering into a mail client. (Check the date on http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/story.hts/tech/weekly/1584428)
While I concede on threading, I stand by it being more than a year. Jaguar was seeded to developers at WWDC in May 2002. The public release was August, but then again, that's still actual product compared to a vapourware announcement.
OK, I should've said "ooohhh - 450 days" instead. And I also concede that only Mac users can view email underneath a funky translucent console window.
Wow, I'm really being quite annoying to one of those smug Mac users.
I'd descend into personal insults, but people might think I'm being serious.
Oh, and GNOME sucks, too.

You can see the threaded messages even in the current Mail app. In Preference->Viewing, check "Highlight thread..". The only thing new is that they are grouped together now.
