One needs to understand that the dim-bulb that did the cobalt script never
imagined that washing machine owners would elect to call their mail
servers something other than www.

The cobalt CGI script looks at domain in the templates and assumes that
the only correct thing to do is add www. to the domain in the database,
and thus write out www.donain.com

So, if you are contrary and don't use www. as the name of the mailserver,
you can manually edit  wach user's default page.

You may have also noticed that Cobaolt insists that any front page site
use index.html, while the default MS value is index.htm

But, I shouldn't complain...it is SO MUCH FUN to edit and rename files
everytime I add a site.

Hope and pray that someone at Sun looks at the real world and creates an
update to the GUI and other system items...or someone offers a
replacement  management system that isn't based on statutory rape.
