That was what 387 did (kill this setting) and why I had to replace it.

This is only not greyed out for netmails and lets you choose the uplink by
name rather than picking an address. Simpler and less error-prone.

 MF> Nice.

 TS>> º ùNEW Editor: Layout improvements    º

There where minor issues with control sizes and layouts on machines with 125%
font scale.

 TS>> º ùNEW Text groups created on install º

 MF> Nice.

Only helps when doing a clean install ;)

 TS>> º ùCHG Forward uses orig text group   º

 MF> Nice.

 TS>> º ùFIX Fido Over IP config problems   º

 MF> What config problems were those?

See above ;)

 TS>> PS: Yes, I have given up numbering beta versions. This was so 90s ;)
 MF> LOL!

Didnt make sense anyway ... depending on perspective its not even Beta ore
something worse beyond release as I basically keep rewriting/localizing
something that was already working fine back in the days.
