I was actually thinking "one of each". I.e. there would be a list of
links, e.g. "_Outlook_ _Outlook_Express_ _Pine_ ...", etc. But I must
have misunderstood; the impression I got was that nothing was happening.
If a page is being made, that would be great! I still think the OLOCA
should at least have a link back to such a page, however, for
convenience if nothing else. Heck, just make the word "configure" in the
acronym's expansion be the link :-). Then there is no new text.
Oh, and I wouldn't worry about Thunderbird, given that the *default*
configuration is correct. If someone is using Thunderbird and doing it
wrong, there's a good chance that's because they made the change
intentionally.
