Well, it misses the "F", really, since I don't recall anyone asking  
this before.

Note that you can also get the version in the 'normal' way with  
sb_filter (I don't recall when this was added - it might have been  
1.1a3):

$ python scripts/sb_filter.py -v
SpamBayes Command Line Filter Version 1.1a3 (August 2006)

$ python scripts/sb_filter.py --version
SpamBayes Command Line Filter Version 1.1a3 (August 2006)

Not all of the scripts have this, but sb_server/sb_imapfilter have  
the version on all pages of the web interface and outputs the version  
to stdout when starting up, and those three (plus the Outlook add-in)  
are probably the vast majority of all uses.
