I have no personal interest in writing "How to configure X for  
SpamBayes" for all the mailers that exist.  The reason I added the  
Outlook Express one is that it saved me answering the same question  
again and again on this list.  Outlook Express users generally have  
very little ability to work with computers, and need as much hand- 
holding as possible, which is why there are so many questions from  
them (I'm somewhat astonished that they find SpamBayes at all).

(An additional reason is that because Outlook Express is so feature- 
poor, it requires setting up the 'notate' options, which isn't  
necessary for pretty much any other mailer, and makes the process  
more complicated (ironically)).

If, however, someone contributed steps for another mailer (e.g.  
Eudora), then I'd be happy to add them to the FAQ, since that's very  
little work.  Hint, hint, hint.

FWIW, if a Eudora user doesn't understand the instructions that come  
with SpamBayes, then perhaps those instructions need to be clearer?   
It's much better to have a set of instructions that everyone can use  
than many separate sets that all have to be individually maintained.

I'm not sure what you mean here.  What is point 3?

I don't understand again, sorry.  What document is meant to be better  
referenced?  The FAQ?  What should it be referencing?

Installation is covered in the "readme" that opens when you install  
SpamBayes.  That's much more likely to be found than something online.
