This is strange.  This should work, and does for me here.

This bit of the documentation should be more clear now that there are
subdirectories.  Putting the file in the bin subdirectory should also have
worked (but not in the others, or the parent directory).  Again, does for me
here.

Weird (unless SpamBayes was *installed* into that directory, but then there
shouldn't have been the previous one, and the first one should still have
worked).  This *doesn't* work for me, and nor should it, from I what I can
tell.  What version of Windows are you using?

Well, glad you managed to get it working, anyway, even if I can't understand
*why* it works!
