Hi, This seems to contradict what I saw. The file default_bayes_customize.ini was in the Application Data directory of my profile and contained a page or so of comments along with a couple parameters. I added the list of experimental parameters to that file. After I un-installed the application, the file only contained the list of parameters I posted and nothing else. I renamed this file so it would not be found and I got a similar results to fixing the settings as suggested. The file default_bayes_customize.ini was built in the bin directory under the folder created for the application and not the profile directory. As I said, some of these setting may want to be preserved, but I feel experimental setting should minimally be removed. A more complex method might question the existence of each one before removing them. Retained options should be validated at some point.

There have been times in the past where a new version of SpamBayes required uninstalling the old version before installing the new one, and we don't want users to lose their settings in that case. We also sometimes recommend that a user uninstall SpamBayes to see if a particular problem goes away without it. If it doesn't, we can assure them that they can simply reinstall and all their settings will be intact. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/spambayes Check the FAQ before asking: http://spambayes.sf.net/faq.html
