[Spambayes] Problems on Windows machines

[Jesse Pelton]

I wonder the same thing periodically.  None of the automatic updates has
ever caused my SpamBayes installation to fail, though, so the only
evidence I have tends to lead to a verdict of not guilty.  Actually, the
Scottish Verdict ("not proven" - see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_proven) may be most appropriate at this
point.

After reading descriptions of on-again, off-again SpamBayes problems
from users of Windows and other Microsoft products for the past several
months, I wondered about -- and don't recall seeing any posted comments
or suggestions related to -- the culpability of some of Microsoft's many
automatic updates.

Maybe the group has discussed this, and I've just missed it, but the
otherwise dissimilar nature of many of the "lost mail/impaired
functionality" seems to have one commonality:  Microsoft operating
systems or email systems.

Could we simply be seeing the results of one automatic update or another
resetting an individual user's security and other preferences?  Or is
this idea so simpleminded that the more sophisticated readers are now
breaking out into hysterical laughter?
