3 things

Forgive me for not separating these between messages; I figured everyone would 
rather get one message in their box rather than three. :-)  These all deal with 
IMP 2.3 CVS checked out about an hour ago.

1. Setting the focus in the username field of IMP 2.3 now commits one of the 
most unpardonable indescretions of web sites: if I tell my browser to load IMP, 
and then open a new browser to do something else before I'm ready to login and 
read my mail, it now jumps to the front (at least under Netscape/Windoze).  I 
HATE THAT!  Hotmail and Yahoo mail both do that (that I use) and I always 
appreciated knowing IMP wasn't going to do that to me--and it's not so hard to 
click my mouse or tab to the username field.

2. Is there a way to disable the compression setting if there is an error in a 
page/script/database connection/etc that PHP reports?  I find that if there is 
anything amiss, PHP will report the error, give the standard "Cannot add any 
more header information...", and then the rest of the page is unreadable 
compressed information.  I don't know that the specific error matters, but I can 
mention a few if you want.

3. This is simple, but was there an interface change I missed that kept the 
entire page background white?  I know Chuck was toying around with different 
color schemes awhile back, but it seems to have been left without distinguishing 
the mailbox list or the message itself.  I imagine I can change this setting in 
config/html.php ?

That's all--thanks for the good work, guys.
