No output as you predicted. On my old PC where it works I have a plugin
called NoHTML installed that converts HTML e-mail messages to plaintext. On
the new PC whether I have that plugin installed or not it still crashes with
Spambayes loaded. Norton AntiVirus 2003 also has its hooks in Outlook but
whether that's installed or not also makes no difference.

Over the past few days I had to completely reinstall the new PC from scratch
[overclocking experiment gone wrong] so I had a completely fresh setup to
try again. XP Pro with SP2 integrated, then all the Windows Updates. Then I
installed Office 2003, followed by Office Updates to take it past SP1. Next
was Spambayes binary. Load up Outlook and it still crashes in exactly the
same manner. When I tried to load PythonWin, Windows killed the process
because of the DEP security on my Athlon64 CPU and I had to allow Windows to
accept it as a safe application. This did not affect Spambayes crashing but
I'm wondering if the DEP is interfering with Spambayes somehow?
