I think you have to be very careful there. In another thread I
referenced to the fact that Thunderbird currently has an advanced
configuration editor where you can change almost *everything*. IMO that
is one of the things that is actually flawed in Thunderbird.

I don't disagree that we should expose some settings in an "advanced"
preference pane, but I believe we should be hesitant to do so.
