[imp] Removing "Save" and "Undo" from preference group

Sounds like a decent idea *IF* you were going to store the info in prefs.

Yeah, I was pretty impressed the first time I made a module using prefs
too ;)

This sounds like a misapplication of the prefs system.  If you would, for
example, save the "out of office" message in prefs, that would be cool.
But it is not meant to be a link page, which appears to be how you want to
use it.

That's my point.  Why use the preferences system if you are not going to
set any preferences?  Isn't this using the wrong interface for the job?

I understand that prefs will let you do this, but it seems like the wrong
use of the prefs system.
