[Spambayes] RE: [spambayes-dev] sb_mboxtrain.py trashes some pine mailboxes interpreting them as only one message

[TJ Olney]

Yes, that sounds like it.  I don't speak python, but a patch would be 
appreciated.  It appears to die at a hex value of 7F7F in the message.
I tried to test by replacing those with something else, but don't have a tool 
to do it with...  Know of a search and replace for hex?  Or a perl 
expression that will do it?

   Are you there Skip?
