config-settings:
use\_api = True

unicode test: ok

Always automatically start submission after running, not prompt user to confirm.
Because 'if self.addprefix or self.appendAll or self.regexAll:' is False, so it directly submitted by 'else:'.

It does appear to be valid. At least the documentation is incorrect. -always does not always prevent a prompt on the first page processed; it doesnt prevent a prompt on pages after the first page, or if used with -prefix.

I guess there is a mix of -always and appenAll which unclear.
