I think it's important that ding should offer defaults that aren't
radically different from existing practice.  Having options is
important too, of course--but the defaults should be simple and easy
to understand.  

In this case, if the user adds a to-address to the group params, I'd
suggest that the only immediate change in behaviour be to supply a
default for `a' in that group.  To activate other options, those
should be turned on explicitly.  Modifying both `a' and `f' on the
basis of one entry in the param list is confusing.  Requiring the user
to add another entry in the param list to turn off special behaviour
on `f' (leaving any magic on `a' enabled) seems silly.
