I was actually thinking "one of each". I.e. there would be a list of 
links, e.g. "_Outlook_ _Outlook_Express_ _Pine_ ...", etc. But I must 
have misunderstood; the impression I got was that nothing was happening. 
If a page is being made, that would be great! I still think the OLOCA 
should at least have a link back to such a page, however, for 
convenience if nothing else. Heck, just make the word "configure" in the 
acronym's expansion be the link :-). Then there is no new text.

Oh, and I wouldn't worry about Thunderbird, given that the *default* 
configuration is correct. If someone is using Thunderbird and doing it 
wrong, there's a good chance that's because they made the change 
intentionally.
