[missing-sync-palmos-talk] A hidden 5.1.0b14 feature you can test...

[Helge Kraak]

Thank you so much, Maurice! I'm really happy that made an approach to 
those users who know to handle this feature and who have good reasons 
to use it regarding their need of a reliable system! I understand the 
concerns with respect to the users who could misunderstand the 
consequences of using this feature so that you should of course make it 
available in a way that the user gets clearly explained the way it 
works.

I would be happy to see this option in the final version!

Best
Helge
