Sigh. Copying an E-Mail to a temporary folder and then working on this copy should be known as safe to anybody who has used SM for a time. >All sorts of things have unexpected side effects.

Documentation is useful and often essential unless you will search in the source by yourself. An example of this is http://www.eyrich-net.org/mozilla/X-Mozilla-Status.html >(That would be like telling science students that instead of learning >what past scientists did and then going on to try to build on that >knowledge, they have to re-discover whatever has already been >discovered.) Oh oh. That reminds me on mathematics in the school of my nephews. They had to solve tasks in the prescribed way. Own thinking, own way to solve the task was dangerous. ;) Followup-To mozilla.general because it is now OT here.
