There is a link to a list of changes for 2.1, most of which are pretty awesome. I do have a question about two of the changes.

Private Messages are saved by default when sending a message (can not be turned off)

The header on the default theme can no longer be collapsed

Why can't PM's being saved by default be turned off?

Why the removal of the ability to collapse the header?

Regarding the second one, I think that the header desing of 2.1 is different from 2.0 and that's why it cannot be collapsed in 2.1. Member info is now displayed under a clickable dropdown, so it's not necessary to collapse it.

So it's permanently on to keep PMs that you've sent. It's not like you save any database space to keep vs not keep, and you might as well be able to see all the things you sent, rather than having to deal with 'things you sent you can't see because you didn't think of changing an option you might not even have known about'

I, in particular, am a fan of having fewer choices when the choice made for you actually makes more sense than giving you choices. Having 200 choices is great. Having the *right* things configurable is better than having all the things configurable.

All that makes sense. Thanks guys.

Forgot to reply to this, but yes, this is the reason.
