I'd love to try this out, but I cannot find information on how to
make GSSAPI the default auth for IMAP and SMTP. There's nothing in
the GUI, nor anything obvious in about:config. I assume there's a
hidden pref, but googling and searching the relevant bugs in bugzilla
for it has come up empty. Is this documented anywhere?
(As a side note, it seems pretty odd to trumpet "Kerberos Authentication"
as one of big new features of 1.5 when there's no obvious way of activating
it!)
