There is only hammie.db.

Training for both 1.0a3 and 1.03a4 was done via the browser interface by 
selecting a Eudora mail folder with only ham and clicking on Train as Ham, 
then a Eduora mail folder with only spam and clicking on Train as Spam. The 
contents of the folders changed between installing 1.0a3 and 1.0a4.

Is this possibly something related to the combination of Eudora 5.1 and 
W2K? I have Mark's binary plugin installed on a Windows ME system with 
Outlook 2000 that my wife uses and she's not having any problems - which 
makes my life easier, another reason for which I'm indebted to the 
spambayes team *8=>).

Best, Ed
