Hello Fu,

Spambayes is open source, so you can check the code yourself to see if
there is anything nasty in it.
If you want to convince Microsoft to change anything: good luck. My
company, who has a bigger revenue and more eployees than Microsoft, was
not able to move Microsoft even for an attoparsec concerning some other
silly software "feature" (aka bug).
If you want to change Spambayes yourself, I think that the developers
will be very happy if you submit a patch.
