Oops. It was working once, I'll check that again.

Sounds like a good idea. I'll work on that later and test the patch a bit 
more regarding this.

I usually delete my sent-mail when I find it is too big. I use the fcc to 
store only a few important mails where I want to know exactly what I said. 
I usually forget to go to sent-mail and move my message to some good place. 
With fcc, I don't have to parse sent-mail to find my bloody message 2 weeks 
later.

Adding filter would be a nice thing, but I won't do it. I just use fcc 
sometimes, because it is easier to decide if a mail should be stored when 
you are writing than to find it in sent-mail when you have sent it. This is 
the only  reason I added fcc, and it doesn't do much more than thatt.
