Summary: mozilla/thunderbird/netscape profile dir detection

Initial Comment:
Hi,

Fistly thanks a lot for you excellent project. It
serves me as a reference in development of Clamwin
Antivirus (clamwin.net).

As I started to  implement POP3 proxy for virus
scanning, obviously I decided to adapt code from
spambayes. I was able to improve
Mozilla/Thinderbird/Netscape mail client detection and
developed a scrip (MozRegistry.py) that parses
Mozilla's registry.dat and finds the default profile
location.

Also there were some minor bugs in autoconfigure.py
regarding Outlook Express SMTP port (not always
present) and Mozilla's spam folders.

I attach a zip farchive with the patch and
MozRegistry.py script. It hasn't been thoroughly tested
yet, but I thought you may find it useful before the
1.0 release.

Regards,
Alch

Hi,
As I am the author of MozRegistry.py I grant you the
permission to use it in SpamBayes project as you wish
necessary. If that requires transferring the license to PSF
then I am happy to do that. 

Now as we are talking licenses, I have used some of the code
(heavily modified) from spambayes in clamwin. These source
file in clamwin (outlookaddin.py) are GPL and they also have
PSF license included. Is this the right way to use the code
form spambayes, or shall the whole file that contains
portions of PSF code carry PSF license only?
Cheers,
Alch

Thanks!  I've checked in the fixes, although the the
improved Mozilla (etc) stuff.

Since MozRegistry.py is GPL'd, I don't think that we can
include it with the SpamBayes dist (of course, IANAL). 
Thanks for the offer, though.
