[Spambayes] message.py msgInfoDB import side effects are trouble

Note that the message info database is (as the code comments indicate) really unfinished.  Tim S started work on this but didn't manage to get it finished before he had to move on to other (non-Spambayes) stuff, and Mark, who inspired ;) the idea, has been very busy with the OL plug-in, which doesn't (currently) use the message module.  The ideal solution is to create code that implements it as intended ;)

I don't know about best, but the easiest way would be to just have a copy of the message module that doesn't do this (i.e. edit it out of your copy of the file).  If you're not using it, it won't do you any harm.
