putting on feature list because it's big.

if this is fixed, mebbe bug 40712 will go away.

[(not reading, please use [e-mail] instead)]

this bug is very related to #40172

if we fix this, #40172 becomes a won't fix.

we need to decide where the account manager will live and decide which bug is valid.

re-assign to putterman so he can track it and decide what to do.

this may eventually go to racham.  personally, I don't think it is something we
need to do for 6.5

Recommend wontfix for both bugs. Offering UI for settings which are specific to 
Messenger when a user opens the Preferences dialog in Navigator (or vice versa) 
makes about as much sense as offering UI for settings which are specific to 
Photoshop when a user opens the Preferences dialog in WordPerfect (or vice 
versa).

I agree with mpt on this one.  I like having the account manager outside of
prefs and I don't think it needs to be in every component.  So, unless there's
strong disagreement which I don't see in the bug, I'm marking wontfix.
