   Nope .....   
      
   The "¯Unsent" folder is where all your parked(held) messages are stored. Now   
   why it's called "¯Unsent" has always been a mystery to me. A more appropriate   
   name would have been either "¯Parked" or "¯Held".

   Yes, that's correct because as far as OpenXP is concerned, parked(held)   
   messages are not the same as unsent messages. Confusing or what? 8-]
