Your recent checkin fixes this (well, in source, so presumably also the
binary).

No, but if I thought for a bit longer I might have done ;)  Running
"pop3proxy_service" gave me a message saying that it was trying to start
it, so I thought it would do it for me.  "net start pop3proxy" works
fine (as did starting it manually in the windows Services GUI).

I meant a setup script, which the installer would run.  It could create
the appropriate bayescustomize file, which tells pop3proxy where to find
everything.  I presume it could also set the BAYESCUSTOMIZE envar to the
location of that file, which would mean that the settings were shared by
all the programs (except Outlook?  If BAYESCUSTOMIZE is set, does the
plug-in load it as well as the default_bayes_customize.ini file?).

If we want to avoid the envar, then I guess we need to modify
pop3proxy_tray and pop3proxy_service to load in the ini from the
appropriate place.

I don't mind having a go at writing this, although:
  1. I only half get how this should be done, so I'll need a lot of
kicking towards the goal.
  2. I won't have time this week, unless other work goes amazingly well.
