Just a couple of minor ones.  Unfortunately, I'm on a tight deadline at work
until at least the end of January.

I'd like to get a tab added to the Manager for configuring the notification
sounds.  It may be just edit boxes for the filenames at first (no browse),
but I think we need something if general users are going to be able to take
advantage of it.

Given that we haven't been able to solve the bsddb corruption/run-recovery
problem, I wanted to try something with automatic backups to at least
provide a recovery mechanism.  My idea was to detect if the database is
still good when shutting down, and if so make a backup copy of the .db file.
When starting up, if the training data is corrupt then try to restore this
"known good" backup and then attempt the open again.

Speaking of translations, have you been able to build a binary since the
translation support was added?  Whenever I try to run setup_all.py, I get
the following error:

"""
running py2exe
running build_py
error: package directory 'spambayes\resources' does not exist
"""
