Yes it did, and the reason is the high number of worms and viruses that are
spread by email attachments that may even appear to come form a trusted
source as these worms send out emails based on users it finds in the address
book of an infected computer. It is easy to change the configuration back to
the old way, but be sure to be using a quality virus scan program that scans
all emails and keep it up to date - automatically if possible. --- Steve
