I think any of us who hack on SpamBayes could probably write an elementary
README file if we knew what the target installation was.  Mark Hammond has
done an admirable job addressing the unwashed masses who use Outlook on
Windows, but the rest of the population uses a mish-mash of tools to fetch
and read mail, making it difficult to write an easy-to-understand README
file that works for everyone.

Richard, what's your mail environment look like?  How does mail get from
your mail server to your mail reader?
