Yes I totally agree, I always wanted to have these prefixes. > That said, the condideration for 2.1 was that its options should default to > whatever hardcoded values were used in 2.0.

That's fine, use prefixes and use "dbmail_" as default for 2.0, but the prefix should be configurable. I have no problem to use my current cvs version several more weeks until I have time to rename the tables and adopt and test all my software. The problem I see is that others might be in the same situation and because of that dbmail will be less well tested than it should and could be.
