color=#800000 size=2>The RC2 release is more reliable than most 3rd-party
software is at any stage of its life cycle. IMO, it's silly not to use it. (It's
not my place to say you're being silly; but if the shoe fits, wear it.) The fact
that it's arguably just as silly for the developers to keep stalling like this
is beside the point.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

wouldn't dream of using a beta version of a Microsoft operating system. But the
risk you'd run by using the current version of Spambayes is negligible.
