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. -Sudish
