What I asked wasn't whether it still happened if you reinstalled, but if it
still happened if you uninstalled.  That would confirm that it is a problem
with SpamBayes, rather than some other Outlook problem.  My comment about
reinstalling was to assure you (unnecessarily, as it turned out) that you
wouldn't lose any data by trying this.

I'd still like to know whether the problem occurs if SpamBayes is
uninstalled, and also whether it happens if SpamBayes is simply disabled
(via the "Manager" dialog, accessable from the SpamBayes toolbar).

This is what concerns me most.  I'm also using Outlook 2002 (with XP, rather
than 2K, but that shouldn't make a difference).  Doing (a) does nothing
(which is what I would suspect) - the cursor turns into a circle with a line
through it, pointing out that this is an invalid operation, and the message
says where it is.  Could you mail me a screenshot with a message held over
the "delete as spam" button to show that it *doesn't* have the 'invalid'
cursor on your machine?

For anyone else reading this and using the plug-in, could you try doing (a)
and let me know whether it works?
