It has been sometimes used for some special address rewriting in  
connection with posting to shared folders. But that was also just a  
hack. I don't believe it is functionality that is being used very  
often. On the other hand we didn't have many people complaining about  
it either. I did not yet fully understand why it is a problem for you.

Cheers,

Gunnar
