Windows 10: Why does Windows Mail, when I mark an email as junk, say Sender Blocked when it never...

Why does Windows Mail, when I mark an email as junk, say Sender Blocked when it never blocks them? It's always been this way with the mail app for me. Is it a bug? What's the point? I know I can block in Outlook, but it would be ideal if the desktop app could do blocking also.

Mark mail as junk

Using the WP8 email client, how do you mark an inbox item as junk, and add the sender to your blocked senders list, while, hopefully alerting MSFT's smart spam technology to be on the lookout for this sender and/or content.
