If `setting the datasource' means what I think it means, then surely you
have to create the menus lazily anyway -- otherwise you'll have a bug
which goes something like this ...
* Open a compose window
* Switch back to the three-pane
* Create a new mail folder `Foo'
* Switch back to the compose window
* Open the Fcc menu, discover that `Foo' isn't present
