 This is really strange, I haven't seen anything like this yet. Do you have
any way to reproduce this behaviour reliably or is it completely random?

 There are (at least, if I don't forget anything else) 2 fonts: the one for
the viewer and the other one for the composer. There is no global font
setting.

 Quoted text or the text after signature/mailing list separator (like at
the end of this mail)?

 I've already heard about this bug but never found a way to reproduce it.
Again, if you can determine when does this happen it would be most helpful.

 Definitely. My hypothesis is that it happens when you "slow click" on
Inbox which starts renaming it and it somehow gets renamed into "Inbox (x,
y)". Of course, this shouldn't happen -- and it doesn't here when I try to
reproduce this bug, so something is missing in this explanation...

 No :-(

 This is so strange that I'm really tempted to say that this is
impossible... Are you absolutely sure it is the SMTP authentication box and
not the one asking the password for your IMAP server (which can be shown
due to background check for new mail)? I'm quite sure that there is no
"auto send" feature in Mahogany. There is "auto save" one but it only saves
the message in "Drafts" folder, but doesn't send it.

 As soon as possible but, unfortunately, in practice this means too slow. I
hope to make a new release in the beginning of the next year assuming that
I can find some time to work on Mahogany during the end of year holidays.

 If the version didn't change, yes. If it did, no, as the settings could
have been updated in backwards incompatible way. Thinking about it, there
should probably be a question before upgrading (currently Mahogany just
tells you that it did it post factum). You may enter a feature request for
this if you think it's a useful feature.

 If the version didn't change, yes.
