<DIV><FONT size=2>Hi, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> I tried to use <FONT size=3> </FONT><A
class=reference href="mailto:spambayes-dev@python.org"><FONT size=3>Spambayes
</FONT></A> but have fallen at the first post. From what I've read I could
easily use it if you gave me only a tincy wincy bit more info. It may not in
fact be your fault that I've failed. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> I'd like to use with Outlook Express under
Win98 SE, so I've installed the Python 2.3 using the windows installer. I
accepted all the defaults, and I also looked at the advanced settings that said
make file associations with .py etc etc, it was checked. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> I then downloaded and unpacked the
Spambayes source code to C:\temp so that it was in the directory
c:\temp\spambyes-1.0-a4</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2> Next, according to your instructions you
say</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>Once you've downloaded and unpacked the source archive, do the regular
<TT>setup.py build; setup.py install</TT> dance,</DIV>
<DIV>
<P><FONT size=2> Well typing setup.py at the dos prompt
produced "bad command or filename"</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2> Clicking on it seemed to do something, but
its not clear what. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2> After this I'm stuck. As you will have
gathered, I don't know python. I alost ried entering the python GUI, but this
didn't help. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2> Can you give me a clue ? </FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2></FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>
