You don't need to send things to me and cc the list.  I read it anyway
and thus get two copies.  The same can be said with many others that use
this list.

Yes, you're right.  A pain that is, but at least they do launch the
system preference, and I suppose it is possible to modify x-www-browser
to be a symlink to something in a user's home directory that in turn is
a symlink to the actuall browser people want to use.  It's certainly a
round-about way of creating user defined brower, but it theoretcally
should work.
