It was 2.3b1.  Oddly, though, I think Mark used 2.3 (not b1, obviously)
to build the plugin.  Going by this, anyway:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/spambayes/2003-February/003611.html

Sean did mention something about his group finding things better
building the plugin with 2.2, though.

It would interesting to see if this is easily duplicable (i.e. install
the plugin on a machine without Python, then install 2.3b1 and see if
all is still good).  I don't really want to uninstall Python here,
though, especially since I'd have to uninstall 2.3b1, CVS, 2.2.2, and
whatever version cygwin has, to be thorough.  Maybe someone that doesn't
do Python coding could give it a go?
