[Spambayes] use on outlook express

[Richie Hindle]

> According to your website Spam Bayes does not work on outlook express.

Not true - the Outlook plugin doesn't work with Outlook Express, but the
POP3 proxy does.  Instructions are at:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/*checkout*/spambayes/spambayes/README.txt?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/plain

The POP3 proxy annotates your email as you retrieve it, by adding a header
(X-Spambayes-Classification) and optionally by annotating the To and
Subject headers.  Because Outlook Express can only filter on a limited set
of headers, you need to use this latter feature - to go the Configuration
page in the web interface and check "Notate to" and/or "Classify in
subject header".  You can then set up an Outlook Express filter to move
suspected spam into its own folder.  (There's a known bug in some recent
versions whereby you need to shutdown sb_server.py and restart it after
changing your configuration - it's probably best to do that.)

(Our documentation is poor... sorry about that!))
