Hi Kim,
I agree.  I think your change works better.  The setting would indeed have
been pretty obscure and hard to understand what it even means.

Since your solution now fixes both my and your use case, I think it's the
way to go. I just recompile e16 git and it works as expected again. :)

Concerning the mailing lists - it is pretty strange. I can see my mails in
the online list archives, but somehow they got eaten on my side, probably
some hickup with my gmail rules + mutt.

Thanks for caring for e16!
