[Spambayes] Spambayes Disabled?

[Kenny Pitt]

The "Disabled Items" is Outlook's way of "protecting" the user from
plug-ins that are causing problems in Outlook. It's unfortunate that
Microsoft chose to bury it in such a non-intuitive location. The
procedure for re-enabling the add-in is described in the SpamBayes
Troubleshooting Guide.
 
If an Outlook add-in generates any kind of exception or fault, Outlook
will disable it. It appears, although I can't confirm this for sure,
that some Microsoft updates will also disable any plug-ins that are not
recognized as known to be "safe".

Then I looked at the Help/About for Outlook 2002 and found a button
there that read "Disabled Items" and lo and behold, SpamBayes was
Disabled.

How can this become disabled? 

This seemed to coincide with a recent Update installation from Microsoft
but I have no idea how that might cause this software to become
disabled.
