Allow user to change the default to "Show in Groups"

[The Blue Max]

The user should be able to toggle the default VIEW\ ARRANGE\ SHOW IN GROUPS
option between ON/OFF for all folders. Many users feel that grouping just
adds too much visual clutter, eliminates display area for the message
listing, and cramps the reader pane because the listing takes more room. As
such, they turn off the option to "Show in Groups" for almost every folder.
Unfortunately, they must manually turn off this option for each folder. Why
not let the user either change the default option to OFF or, better yet, let
the user select multiple folders and change the setting for all selected
folders with the option to include subfolders?

Thanks for the tip, Brian. Not exactly intuitive, but apparently very
possible. We also enjoyed other articles on the referred website, looks like
