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.

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.

BFN,
