Let the user decide which best fits the way they work.Auto-compacting used to be off by default. Unfortunately, most users don't know what compacting is or why they should do it. As a result, they never do it, and their Inbox continuously grows in size, eventually slowing down SeaMonkey. Imagine if every message you've ever received was still stored in your inbox file, even after you've cleared your inbox via SeaMonkey. P.S. It's "hear, hear", not "here, here". :)BTW, my theory is that the American word "yeah" is our rendition of "hear" as said by a Brit from an r-dropping dialect. So our translation of "hear, hear" would be "yeah, yeah."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hear,_hearI would have thought it derived from the "o-ye, o-ye" of the town criers of old(e)...or the O-yea, o-yea of the British courts, when is bourn(e) of "oyeaz-oyeaz".
...which are near to spot-on for the imperative conjugation of the Spanish verb "oir" - to listen - which is "oye". Or "oyele" - listen to him - in translation in accord with the Wiki.
But they all seem to funnel from imperative variations of/on "hear ye" in meaning; though modern American vernacular would likely tend more towards "listen up".
