I thought this was fixed :-( Still present in latest Win32 EXE?

This is so mysterious I don't even know where to start looking for it...

Slower than the default one??

I don't see how unless we ask all our users to install AbiWord...

The trouble is that the whole implementation is flawed. Instead of 2
dialogs (first one with which you can disable it, second one which asks if
you want to disable it for all folders) we should have only one dialog, of
course, with 3 radio boxes:
(*) ask me about it next time
( ) don't ask me again in this folder
( ) never ask me again
It's trivial to do, too... Maybe you should file a bug about it.

Yes, this would be definitely useful/nice.

For this we need rich text editor first...

Oh yes, the whole custom headers thing is a mess. But as this is hardly
the most urgent part I never have time to change it. BTW, Mark, I believe
there are a few bugs about this and it probably makes sense to close all of
them but one.

For once I can _honestly_ say:
No, it's a feature!
