Yeah, yeah. I was just ranting a little bit. My initial query was not a 
complaint, though. I was concerned it had fscked up my email and was 
looking for help.

Bully for you! I'm sure lots of people will like it. I've played around 
with it a bit and think that ~gasp~ *I* might even grow to like it. 
However, having the accounts initially appear like that is very

But, as you said, this isn't the place to discuss that.
