[spambayes-dev] Dev environment setup

[Mark Hammond]

I don't think SpamBayes has any current developers and most work dried 
up even before Python 3 was ready. Modern Outlook also hasn't been 
tested. So I suspect you are probably on your own here, but those of us 
left holding the keys would be happy to arrange any doc etc changes you 
might make get committed if possible.

Cheers,

Mark
