Not really.  Try again?  About half the developers on the spambayes project
were missing some permission or other, so I ran thru all of them and checked
every damned box and clicked on every damn dropdown list I could find.  As
far as SF is concerned, you're all sitting on God's Right Hand now, so if it
still doesn't work I suggest you upgrade to Win98 <wink>.

Unless I've grown senile tonight, you got it from Anthony to begin with.
Please check it in to project, and add a short blurb to README.txt!

Which didn't help.  At the very least I think that means it's time for
bed...

Raring to go, once I can write to CVS...

Yeesh.  Sounds like what you need is something to kick up once and score
an entire mailbox.
Wait a second...  So *that's* why you wanted -u.
If you can spare the memory, you might get better performance in this
case using the pickle store, since it only has to go to disk once (but
boy, does it ever go to disk!)  I can't think of anything obvious to
speed things up once it's all loaded into memory, though.  That's
profiler territory, and profiling is exactly the kind of optimization
I just said I wasn't going to do :)
