Hi Jonathan,
You will encounter this in almost every internet application on osx
as the philosohpy behind it is that internet related locations and
settings always affect all the applications on a system. Doing it
this way means that if you change a location or settings all the
applications automatically use the correct settings.
I might add that we do have the ability to override the system
setting using some hidden prefferences if needed.

System Preferences.
LOL! Well, I guess you can tell who's a newbie MacOS sysadmin! 17
years as a Unix/Linux sysadmin didn't prepare me for a system-
level, rather than an application-level setting. I'll have to
search for any other instances of this behavior.
Kudos to Stuart Morgan!
