The default behavior is for MP to 'Save By Date' and the change to 'Save By Email' would be a huge step change that would gather some complaints, cos it's very different. So we could leave the default as-is. But, we could change the default filename for the 'Save By Email' from "December 2007" to the suggested "2007-12 (December)"...
Actually my point was that changing "December 2007" to "2007-12 (December)" IS radical and should not happen just like that. Not without a decent GUI walking the user to the change and giving him/her the option to attempt (note: attempt, this is very difficult to make this fail proof) to do this automatically...
Changing the user's option from "save by date "to "save by email" didn't even came to mind. That too is severe and shouldn't happen.
In short: just changing the default regisrty option is a no-no, IMHO.
