Great!  Some problems are expected in an alpha release like this, but it is
encouraging to know that it seems to be working well in general.

Yes, it has.  The old labels took up more space than necessary, and the
wording was a little confusing in certain contexts.

SpamBayes first tries to use the existing toolbar so that any customizations
you have made to it will be preserved.  If, for any reason, it can't access
the existing toolbar then it will recreate it from scratch.  This is
probably what happened after you disabled and then re-enabled SpamBayes.

I expect that this is unique to the toolbar because of the special behavior
for creating it, but we'll keep an eye out just in case.  Thanks for the
input!
