Here we are, implementing a UTF-8-only library, but people are still using MUA's

Oops, yes, Fitz is right -- our options are case-preserving, but
case-insensitive. Which means that using [default] in the procxy config file
isn't a very good idea, becuase it conflicts with the intended meaning of the
[DEFAULT] section. How about [global] instead?

BTW, I fixed the DEFAULTS vs. DEFAULT typo.
