SpamBayes works best when trained on roughly equal numbers of ham and spam
(see http://entrian.com/sb_wiki/TrainingIdeas for a great deal of
information).  If you're finding classification results less than ideal, you
might want to consider retraining and aiming for a rough balance.  The
golden rule is "if it isn't broken, don't fix it", though.

SpamBayes uses whatever Windows thinks is the default browser.  If you open
up the browser you want to be the default (e.g. Netscape 6.2) there should
be an option there to do it.  I think Netscape's option is found by doing:

  1. Select "Edit | Preferences" from the main menu in Netscape.
 
  2. Change to the "Navigator" tab/section.
 
  3. Click the "Set Default Browser" button.
 
  4. Click "OK".

  5. Restart Netscape and click "Yes" when asked if it should be set as the
default browser.

SpamBayes should then open in that browser.
