This is on a pretty vanilla Red Hat 9 system running
Python 2.2.  If you need any more info, let me know.

I get the same error on a FreeBSD system running Python 2.2.2.  
It occurs in both 1.0a7 and 1.0b1.1. 
 
I winnowed down my corpus of spam until I found the message 
that was causing the bug.  Deleting this message from my spam 
mailbox eliminated the error.  You can get a copy of the 
offending spam here:

I got what appears to be the same error with a different
presentation.  The below came from SpamBayes POP3 Proxy
Version 1.0b1 (April 2004), running on Windows 2000
Professional:
