[Spambayes] expected behaviour in Outlook2k

[Clyde L. Parliament]

Tried the .03 version; it works a little better. The problem seems to be tied to my system (go figure); I am running OL2K SP3 connected to Exch2k; my other system running OL2002 SP1 runs fine; others with OL2k run fine.  I still have to open a message twice, but don't have the file error problem on the first try any more.  

Anyway, regardless of the bug, love the plugin.  I actually have a reason to want to run OL now (previously avoided like the plague for my own account; had no choice for the office).  Word is getting around the office about it, and others want it installed, too.

I'm trying to track it down, but although I used to see this all the
time, now that I'm trying to reproduce it, I'm having trouble!  This may
have something to do with the newer code, so downloading the 003 release
and seeing if that makes a difference is worth trying (see below).
Otherwise, be assured that we are working on it!

Hadn't heard that before, though.  I'll add that information to the
tracker.

Note that there is a newer version out - the 002 release was getting
pretty old.  The new one has a large number of improvements, so is well
worth getting (from the same location as the old one, or
http://spambayes.org/download.html).  You may also be interested in
subscribing to the -announce list, which is a moderated mailing list
that only has postings when a new release is announced (i.e. very low
traffic).  See http://spambayes.org for more information (towards the
bottom of the page).
