IMO, the uninstaller should definitely programmatically remove the
toolbar (giving the user instructions about what to do with the
potential dialog).  Can the uninstaller not force the user to quit
Outlook before removing the dll?  And then programmatically start
Outlook :), remove the toolbar and then programmatically quit Outlook?
Pretty roundabout, but I can see binary users getting pretty confused if
they have to remove it manually.

For CVS, just a note in the docs somewhere about doing the
Customize->Spambayes->Delete sequence should be enough.

Probably not a priority, though :)
