If a user's profile has a From address that does not pass validation,  
the user is prevented from sending mail and is given this error  
message: "Validation failed for: Joe User <joe at example.com>" This can  
be confusing for the user and it would be nice to have a more helpful  
error message.

I've attached a patch with extends the error message to read:  
"Validation failed for: Joe User <joe at example.com> Your From address  
is not a valid email address. This can be fixed in your <a  
href="/horde/services/prefs.php?app=imp&group=identities">Personal  
Information</a> options page." This allows users to immediately jump  
to the place where they can fix the problem.

(Is there a better way to link to the "Personal Information" pref page?)
