   Actually the most important needed thing that will fix this is a proper 
internal representation of a message, recursive, and reference counted.  
Messages could be locked while being editted and thus sending would be 
postponed.  A drafts folder would be nice, but there would still be issues.  
Actually we should allow multiple drafts folders too.
