Initial Comment:
I'm using Outlook plugin with Exchange server (both 2003). 
It seems that Spambayes requires whole message to be 
downloaded, including attachments. This causes problems 
when connected through a dial-up connection.

Without Spambayes installed, Outlook downloads only 
headers / message body. Attachments are downloaded 
only when accessed.

With Spambayes installed, it makes Outlook download all 
attachments too. Since attachments are generally encoded 
(MIME/base64?) or are not in text form (.pdf,...), I don't 
know if scanning attachments helps.

Please provide an option not to scan / download 
attachments.

Otherwise, the software is great!

Thanks,
Altu Faltu
