Manuel's explanation looks fine to me.  SpamBayes opens and reads the
contents of the message but never executes it, nor does it try to feed it to
another program which will interpret it.  Any buffer overflow problems would
have to be in the Python interpreter itself.  At the current time we are
unaware of any.
