Log Message:
Add a FAQ for "how do I change the place the plug-in stores my data in".
This information is in the configuration guide, but admittedly it is tricky to find, and
you have to read the whole thing to really get it.  This points people to that, but
also gives the quick answer.

+ How can I change the directory that SpamBayes stores my data in?
+ ----------------------------------------------------------------
+ 
+ Instructions for doing this can be found in the "Configuration Guide".
+ (You get to this by doing SpamBayes->Help->About SpamBayes, which opens
+ up a browser window, then clicking the "Configuration Guide" link.  The
+ appropriate section is headed "Multiple Configuration Files" and is at
+ the end of the document).
+ 
+ Basically, you need to create a file "default_configuration.ini", and
+ put it either in the directory that SpamBayes was installed into, or in
+ the default data directory (the `backup question`_ has instructions for
+ finding this directory).
+ 
+ Inside this file, you need to have a section "General", and an option
+ "data_directory", which point to the new location that you wish to use.
+ 
+ For example::
+ 
+   [General]
+   data_directory=c:\spambayes_data
+ 
+ .. _`backup question`: #can-i-back-up-the-outlook-database-should-i-do-this
+ 
+ 
  How do I uninstall the plug-in?
