The PEAR class defaults to using mail() anyway I think but at one point 
it didn't work in safe mode for the same reasons that it doesn't work 
in the odd module that uses mail() still. There's no one consistent way 
that mail is handled in the modules.

Also, one of the things that was better in phpWebSite 0.8x was that 
most of the config was done in the control panel, including the text 
filtering, swear words etc.

A web based front end to the config files that wrote the config in the 
database would be very useful and would have the advantage of letting 
branches have a different config to the main site. And it wouldn't get 
wiped out on an update unless you're careful with the config directory.

There's probably a bunch RFEs already for this, at least one from me, 
but it's the kind of thing that needs changing in the core and probably 
in a bunch of modules as well.
