No not yet. I want to call if "Default" rather than "default identity". It shouldn't be hard to make the change but it's not completely trivial, and if you mess up you'll probably corrupt essential settings for a lot of users and upset them. At least we already have an i18n( "Default" ), so we aren't adding any new translations. > >From what I understand now, the "send method" doesn't refer to "send > > directly > > or queue" but to the smtp server, and that it indeed defaults to "send > directly". So there is no problem there. What is confusing is that the > message box refers to "send method" and that > Settings->Configure->Network->Properties lists a "Default send method" > option. But appearantly both "send methods" are completely unrelated. So it should say something like "please ensure you have completed the 'Sending Mail' tab of the 'Network' section of the main configuration dialog", and then pop up the main configuration dialog and make the network section current.
