Yup, I'm saying that Reply/Forward might need this, and since I hadn't
realized it would be a problem with selection coming from the preview
pane, I thought it was worth letting Brian know there's an issue here
(probably Brian doesn't need to resolve it; perhaps John?).

Note that there isn't a bug for this, because I hadn't convinced myself
whether this is a bug or a feature, but if we want Reply/Forward to have
this behavior, we need to file one.

Personally, I don't think we want to prevent people from creating
replies when they're looking at the In collection (and I suppose the
Trash).  For other collections I think we want to put the reply in the
currently selected collection (Out shouldn't be a problem, the reply
goes in Out, too!).

Sincerely,
Jeffrey
