I found that sb_upload.py already used -s to specify the server name, so
went for a [-t (ham|spam)] option instead. I didn't need to modify
sb_server.py to get this to work, so I hope whatever it is that Skip
thought would need changing doesn't!

I've attached two patches, one against version 1.0 and one against the
HEAD of CVS.

I'm using it with the drag and drop training program I mentioned in my
earlier post (Spam Trainer, now released on SourceForge) to make
training SpamBayes from within the Evolution mail client (or any other
GNOME mail client that supports drag and drop, for that matter) really
easy.

I went out on a limb and added a page to the Wiki for it:

What do you think (of the patch)?
