KMyMoney Digest, Vol 123, Issue 21

[Michael Carpino]

As noted by Thomas regarding the reference to MS-Money and for edification
this layout/format is also the same as Quicken.

I will 2nd Doug's vote.

If it is user configurable, then I'd vote to allow for the change

If not, then I'd vote to leave it the way it is

Mike
