Heh. Does anyone remember who owns the "spambayes.org" domain? I don't. Despite the decline of active development, spambayes still has some loyal users, and spambayes.org is (I think) worth keeping around as a resource for them. -- Forwarded message -- From: SourceForge.net Dat

Wondering whether anyone else has seen this: I noticed today that the file-choosers in my OL 2003 SB "just stopped working". SB still filters fine (well ... see below), and there are no odd messages in a PythonWin Trace Collector debug window. "Stopped working" means, for example: I go to the S
