Unfortunately, the typelibs for office 2000 are hard-coded in a couple of
spots. I fear that upgrading these to later typelibs will prevent SpamBayes
working at all for the older users. No time to, or easy way to look at this
particular problem.

Which I am still struggling to do! The binary builds and registers fine,
but silently fails to load when I start outlook. But this time I am not
trying to do it 1 day before taking off, and will nail it :) Most wolves
have moved away from my door, so I have a little time now.

See above :) I think for now I will stick with the original plan - manually
edit the resource string in the Python DLL we ship.

I'm sorry, but I seem to have missed that, and can't find it. I've a
message or 2 from Thomas to catch up on next, but don't recall it being one
of them.
