Reducing [Visible] Spam
By far the best solution for spam that I have found is using SpamBayes along with Outlook. It works as a plug in. I have found that the best settings are 80% for Certain Spam and 30% for Possible Spam. Also, setting the timer delays to 0.5 seconds seems to work well.
The only negative thing is that the mail notification icon and sound still play when all you got was spam. But they are already working on fixing this problem.
A problem with Outlook is that there is no way to view the actual message source code as received by the server (unlike in Outlook Express, ironically). One neat side effect of having SpamBayes installed is that you can click "Show spam clues for current message" and get the actual message source code.

You can view message source for HTML-based messages by right-clicking the body of the message and choosing (appropriately) "View Source"...
And you can see the full headers of a message by going to View -> Options while looking at the message.
And unfortunately, I've tried to buy Braden.com and they're not selling.
