It was during that whole discussion in which you were actively involved.
(Please let's not rehash that here.)
Found it!

Currently TMDA does use C/R by default, and you have to configure it
to deliver by default instead. This is a throwback to the early days
when TMDA did little more than C/R. I'd not be oppose to reversing
this though. The idea would be that a new TMDA install would deliver
all uncaught mail, and you'd have to set ACTION_INCOMING = 'confirm'
in /etc/tmdarc or ~/.tmda/config to make C/R the last resort action.
Regardless of this thread, I think this would make a new installation
less painful as well. Any opinions on this idea?

Unless you need to share ultra-sensitive super-spy stuff with me, please
don't email me directly. I will most likely see your post before I read
your mail, anyway.
