Good point. Tried that, but although having administrator privileges, PM
was showing the same error. So just changing her rights doesn't seem to
work...

Yep, I've had the idea as well, since PM and SpamSieve are communicating
via AppleScript. But it's not within the applications (re-installation
didn't help) or the direct user/application support files, as I checked
the permissions of those. I think it is buried deeper in the system.
Maybe a framework used by both applications while talking. However, I
don't know which ones and where :-).

Guess I have to dig deeper.
