First of all, I believe you've read that the bug syv discovered has
been pretty much identified, for it happens when mass mailing less
than 100 recipients on a W2k machine (so system resources aren't a
concern either), too.
But the way MM works in TB, it does take more memory when MM-ing to
more people. As you know, TB works in a multi-threaded way. You may
open several message editing windows at a time. When you use MM and
choose "Open in editor" when prompted, multiple editing windows are
opened at once. So I think (though I can claim no inside knowledge
of how TB really works) when you choose "Put in Outbox" or "Save as
drafts", TB also tries to create multiple messages at the same time.
(Maybe not 2000 at the same time, but likely more than a few.)

I guess only RIT people can answer this one. Also it should depend
on, among other things, the length of the message. How about trying
it out yourself? :)
