yah, that all would be nice... actually, it _is_ nice :) I think that if you're logged in, you can run through the news setup again (or some sort of setup), and it'll remember all these things you mentioned. When I go to post on the web, I get to the message page right away, with my name, email, and org already filled in.
If you can't find where to set it up, let me know, and I'll try to find the page.
