What about asking Don? He should really know a good English expression. ;-)

I'll definitely test (and use) the trash cleaning patch only (I hope I'll 
find some time tonight, I'll have to stay long at the office). I think, 
many people will be interested in this function.

About the fcc folder patch I tend to think like Michael. Having a sticky 
entry, then all messages go into the same folder. In fact, there is no big 
difference to using sent-mail folder. OTOH changing the folder for each 
mail manually is not what I intend to use.
The best approach would be to have filter rules applying automaticly for 
this too. But I think, I can have filters already now and apply them 
manually my sent messages.

Andreas
