PR. Public Relations.

By having this feature turned on we advertise our webmail package. Any
provider that knows SquirrelMail, can turn it off or customize. If you
find such questions irritating - don't answer or use templates plug
(http://www.squirrelmail.org/plugin_view.php?id=198) and create standard
answer. If you handle these questions politely, you just prove that
webmail provider have chosen good package and OpenSource community is not
133t smartasses.

If we turn off this feature by default, it won't be turned on at all. The
ones that know about it, will customize it to their site. The ones that
don't know, will leave it as is.
