Take them out of the "default_bayes_customize.ini" file.  At the moment we
ignore any invalid options in there, but that is likely to change at some
point, and this will stop spambayes working for you.  If you look in your
log, you'll see an "invalid option" comment in there each time you start up
complaining about this.

Take them out of the "Microsoft Outlook.ini" file as well, and move them
into a (new) file called "default_configuration.ini", either in the
spambayes application directory or (doesn't matter which) in the application
data\spambayes directory that the others are in.

This is outlined at the very bottom of the configuration guide in the
outlook docs.
