Yeah -- I'd wager there are even a few Eudora power users out there who know
nothing about the several thousand x-eudora-setting URLs that can be used to
configure all sorts of crazy things in Eudora. Eudora mostly doesn't force you
to do this because its normal GUI handles what most people need, and the
defaults are sane.

The problem isn't that too many things can be configured; it's one of setting
sensible defaults in the first place so that most people don't *need* to. (UI
for configuration changes should be sane, though. Eudora's is not.)
