It's doing some other twitchy stuff too-- seemed to be showing me a
different list of messages for review depending on what method I used to
bring up the review page, and which browser.
Are there any known issues with Firefox 1.0??
I wasn't keep track of what was happening when and how I started the review
page. I'm getting the best and most consistent results by double-clicking
the tray icon and letting it start IE 6 (arrg).
I had desktop shortcuts that pointed to http://localhost:8880/review which
I thought would be pretty universal, but it seems like that was acting
twitchy too.
I tried pasting http://localhost:8880/review into firefox just once or
twice and lots of wierd stuff happened. Hard to remember now, but I think
it told be I had no messages for review when I did, then I started the
review page another way and there WERE messages there, or... I can't
remember. Gee, lots of help, right?

I used the web setup exclusively.

Env variable of the form
BAYESCUSTOMIZE=D:\PROGRAMS\SPAMBAYES\SETTINGS
Like that?? Or does it have to specify the file too?
