He is referring to the "Spam" button that appears with the message in the 
Yahoo! Inbox. Every message in the Yahoo! Inbox has this "Spam" button which 
is used to report spam in the Inbox. It does not generate a notify to the 
source, as SpamCop does; it is just used to train the Yahoo! SpamGuard 
filters. No "thank you" notice is ever sent; but there is an instant "thank 
you" notice immediately after clicking on the button.
