Please don't top-post, as it makes the conversation harder to follow.

Interestingly enough I was just asking about this on SPAM-L earlier
today, and according to a poster there the Sober worm is indeed smart
enough to do this. But even if that's not so, it's only a matter of

it: all the MUA settings are in the registry.
