First off, it's only done in account prefs. What you see in the compose window
is what will be applied to that mail, and taken from either the folder
properties if any, else the account prefs -- IOW this isn't a default that's
hard-coded anywhere in the code, it's loaded from user settings.

Now, why not defaulting to Failure+Delay in folder properties as it's done in
account prefs? Well, would that be a question or a suggestion?

If the former, I believe my thinking was that the account pref feels more like
a "general" setting (trying not to say "user default" here to avoid confusion),
where sensible (hard-coded) defaults are good to have, while folder properties
felt more like a specific/"restricted" override of said general setting, thus
it was less important/better as blank.
I also wonder if there couldn't be "confusion" regarding whether those values
were hard-coded defaults or "imported" from an account prefs, and again leaving
it "blank" felt both simpler & easier. :)

If the later, sure, I could do that.
