Do you want check if that could be added by default in accountrc.tmpl?
If so, please create a ticket about that.
Because if we think that this has no negative security outcomes we might
as we change this. This goes against our policy of diverging a little as
possible from upstream, but as we are going to replace Claws in
2015-2016 I guess this could be little work and will have a very low
maintenance cost.
