I don't know, but this kind of "user friendly" approach, where your
settings are changed without your knowledge, clicking on this and that
which seems good, without info on the ramifications of this or that
click, leading you through a primrose path to get to the result the
software designers desire (you might want to check Plato's "Socratic"
dialogs for excelent examples of that), smacks of the M$ approach; to hell
with the RFCs, we'll make sure everone uses OUR stuff or else.

Didn't work out quite as they wanted but a lot of listowners, and others,
have to deal with the "or else."
