I have gotten quite used to the convenience of using php for config files. Defining arrays, setting object properties, etc. However its far from user friendly. The config file parsing in Hastymail is pathetically fragile as I recall, which I want to avoid this time around. While structure (ala xml) is nice, I find that to be a pain to hand edit and in this case I don't see any significant benifits. We could do something like Squirrelmail for configuration, but that adds quite a bit of work to the process.

Any suggestions?
