Did this happen previous to 1.1b1 (1.1b2 hasn't been released yet).
The Spambayes version is from Saturday, March 06, 2010, 4:15:56 PM,
FWIW -- I probably got it from sourceforge- not sure.
Do you know what version of Python is being used?
file:///C:/Program%20Files/SpamBayes/lib/pythoncom25.dll Version
2.5.212.7
python25.dll 2.5.2150.1013
win32service.pyd 2.5.213.1
Python version 2.5.2
Using the pop3proxy with Thunderbird. I may have tried to install
Thunderbayes, which didn't work.....
I reinstalled everything after a HD failure last summer.
On looking, bayescustomize.ini also has the password in it in plain
text.
Can I just replace my current spambayes files/reinstall with the
1.1a6 files? Does 1.1a6 hide the email password better?
Thanks!

Peter,
Did this happen previous to 1.1b1 (1.1b2 hasn't been released yet). Do you
know what version of Python is being used?
