    MF>  I see we now have some new icons in the message list/tree - Cool!   
      
   Trying to get these more consistent. Will add some more improvements in the   
   future, particularly an overlay for replied/forwarded messages ...

   Probably there is, but I dont have it at hand. Very simple:   
      
   If maintenance kicks in:   
   1.) (if checked), WP deletes all messages matching the deletion filter that   
   are older than the set date   
   2.) (if checked), WP deletes the oldest messages matching the deletion filter   
   until the number is met or there are no more matching messages left   
      
   So in practice, the deletion filter may for example be set to prohibit the   
   deletion of unread message even if they violate the date/number rule.   
      
   Automatic maintenance only happens for an area, if it is both globally enabled   
   and for that particular area. This can be set to happen at beginning and/or   
   shutdown of the application.   
      
    MF> I'm intrigued by the "Hold" flag because to clear the flag, it has to

   It is actually unused and I have on the list to remove it. WP internally   
   operates differently.    
      
    MF> Whilst we're on the subject of flags, some sort of message

   Is on my list. Still using "mark as unread" for this, but hate it.
