Note that there is one exception to this (which is a known problem with the
current release, and will be fixed for the next one), which applies if you
use the pop3proxy_tray.py script.
The script needs some files that don't get copied across to the Python
scripts directory; so you either have to run the tray script from the
(spambayes) windows directory (but you can delete the rest of the archive),
or copy across the missing files.
