Word wrap on send

The QS message editor behaves the same as the windows notepad editor. During editing it wraps to the width of the window it's in. When you send the message it's wrapped at the column specified in this field.

Quote prefix

When doing a Clipboard Follow-up or Reply, QS quotes the original message as it is being imported into the editor. The quote prefix is placed at the beginning of each line of the original text. Please note the value in the field is surrounded by quotes itself. This is done to make any leading or trailing spaces in the prefix obvious--but they won't be present when the prefix is used in your messages.

User mode

Obviously, Novice or Expert. If you are new to QS I recommend you start in novice mode. There are far fewer options to confuse you. After you gain some understanding as novice, the added options in expert mode will tend to make more sense. It's possible to switch back and forth between modes and some options set in expert mode will still be set in novice mode.

HTTP Timeout

You probably won't need to mess with this. 30 seconds is good, but it can go as high as 240 if it helps.

SMTP Log Lines

QS keeps a log of all you mail sending operation. It just appends each new session. It can be useful to look back at time. This value limits the size of the log. I recommend 500-1000 lines but 0 can effectively shut it off.

Use SSL Certificate

Mailbox gridlines

Original QS mailbox index views all had gridlines separating messages and fields. In this QS the lines are optional for those who might wish a cleaner appearance.

On Opening

I'm not so sure how useful this option is. Logically it seems it might be preferable to some. If you choose to have QS open the Template Dialog on startup you have the chance to select any template immediately, including the default new message, and can even do a Clipboard Follow-up/Reply since the dialog provides that capablilty without using the QS Clipboard menu.
