It _is_ similar in scope; you're right. But on the other hand it's a
relatively esoteric option which is perhaps better off hidden in the
'Receiving Options' tab where it won't confuse the majority of users --
since they don't understand anything else in that tab and hence
hopefully ignore it all rather than pressing random buttons?

I'll do whatever's deemed to be acceptable.
