I'd feel a lot more comfortable doing this if PM remembered what was open
when it quit. If I have 4 pieces of incoming mail that I need to act on
left open and quit PM, they'll be closed when it relaunches. Given that I
get upwards of 300 emails on some days, I can't always remember which
ones I need to act on that I haven't yet - leaving them open does that.
(and just to head it off, creating a folder called "act on me now" and
filing the mail there is not the answer)
