Relating to the composition question, is there any way to allow the To, 
CC, and BCC fields in the compose window?  The reason I ask is this:

Open a composition window.
Type a name in the To field, Expand it.
Add a comma, followed by a second name, expand it.

In order to add additional names, I have to scroll to the right every 
time, which is awkward, especially when there is a long list of names to 
be sent to.

Would it be possible to have the To, CC, and BCC form fields hard wrap 
after N characters?  Or at the very least, only allow one address per 
line?  I've had users complaining that this is clumsy and confusing and in 
my opinion, it is.

It worked for me (as in there is now both a sent-mail folder and a sent-mail-
sep-2001 folder on my system).

*ALTHOUGH* I will admit that I don't recall seeing a message being printed on 
the INBOX screen after it was finished confirming that the action was 
successful.  Is there something wrong with the usage of raiseMessage() in the 
Maintenance module?  I remember there was some talk a few weeks back about 
changing around the error/reporting functions - did this affect the maintenance 
functions?

Also, it might be a good idea to have the maintenance functions call logMessage
() - this would definitely help debugging if something goes wrong during the 
mailbox accesses.

I was not able to reproduce this but I commited a more reliable test for own 
addresses in the From: header.

I hope it's fixed now.

OK, seems to be my problem.

That's definitely a good idea. Thanks for that hint.
