I think I missed reading a message before this, because this doesn't
make sense to me. If *you* have two .ini files, then you can delete
one. SpamBayes doesn't include any [1]. If you mean that there are
multiples places that spambayes looks for an ini, this is deliberate,
and helps a lot when running the testing stuff.

There's no point including an .ini file, because we wouldn't know what
to put in it - all the default settings are stored in Options.py, and
the .ini is only necessary if you want to override those. If anyone
wants a simple way to enter in their configuration, they can run
"sb_server.py" and do it via the web interface (this creates the .ini
file for you). The "replace_nonascii_chars" option is on the advanced
configuration page under "Tokenization Options", and is called "Replace
non-ascii characters". The web interface is a much better method for
people that don't have the knowledge to be mucking about with .ini
files.
Note that people running Windows that have the win32 extensions
installed will have an .ini created for them because it automatically
sets some options for them (the location of storage files). If they use
the autoconfigure script, then the .ini will get additional information
(the servers needed). The extra assistance is for Windows users because
they tend to be the ones that need the most extra help.

else, like everything in the Outlook2000 directory.
