[Spambayes] Problem with SpamBayes

[Dick Cary]

Tony,

I did not make any changes to Outlook that I'm aware of other than install
SpamBayes.  I can't look at the address in the URL as I have already
reformatted my hard drive.  I now have everything reinstalled, except
SpamBayes and everything seems normal.  I am not getting any popups as
before.  I would love to use SpamBayes but I'm sure you can see my
reluctance to do so.

Have you tried doing just that?  i.e. right-click the Inbox, choose
Properties, click the Home Page tab, and look at the URL?  I don't use that
feature of Outlook, so I don't even know what that URL does (mine is blank),
but I presume it shows it when you click Inbox, or something like that.

SpamBayes doesn't do anything with that property at all, so it seems
unlikely that this is a result of installing SpamBayes.  Did you do anything
else related to Outlook that day?

This really does lend weight to the theory that this has nothing to do with
SpamBayes...
