Would anyone object to disallowing setting mail.force_extra_parameters from .htaccess? The problem is that mail.force_extra_parameters can pass arbitrary arguments to mail tool, and some mail tools (especially one, guess which ;) have a lot of parameters, that allow, in particular, reading and writing arbitrary files - which may be a problem with safe_mode (yes, I know, but we are still in 5.x) and open_basedir.
I understand that mail.force_extra_parameters was meant for sysadmins anyway, so disallowing .htaccess to change it seems ok. Objections?
