I'll look at it as a local patch, then -- I'm all for removing options
where they aren't useful for the masses. If for some reason someone really
wanted to "resume" a message they didn't write, they'd likely just forward
it; that's what our people do with the "fat" desktop clients. In 99% of
all cases, I doubt resuming a message someone sent you that was foldered is
something people will want to do -- I can see people clicking on it trying
to resume a message they know they /did/ postpone, but forgot where it
is... or other such errors.
Just $0.02 -- If I patch it up, I'll make it an option and you all can
decide if it's worth having. :)
