Tony, I completely agree with the design decision that [un/re]install leaves the training/config data untouched. However, is there an option to get rid of them, for those unheard-of cases where a user absolutely, positively wants to get rid of all traces of SB? Or are the steps to do so documented anywhere? Not that I would ever do that, God forbid, but just curious...
IMO, every well-designed and well-behaved app should provide a mechanism to completely uninstall, including data, registry changes, folders and what not.

Yes, and you should really get rid of the spambayes.messageinfo.db file, too. Just delete the two of them (when SpamBayes is not running). =Tony.Meyer -- Please always include the list ([email protected]) in your replies (reply-all), and please don't send me personal mail about SpamBayes. http://www.massey.ac.nz/~tameyer/writing/reply_all.html explains this. _______________________________________________ [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/spambayes Check the FAQ before asking: http://spambayes.sf.net/faq.html _______________________________________________ [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/spambayes Check the FAQ before asking: http://spambayes.sf.net/faq.html
