This was a typo, should be "one minute ago". Anyway the meaning wasn't
lost. And of course I'm not sleeping although now it's 05:17 MSK. The
method I have described isn't my or any other's invention. It worked.
And of course I don't ever post any message if I didn't
saw/tested/knew/etc. the things I'm talking about.

Have you tried holding Ctrl when dragging the parked message to the
Outbox?

Agreed, but _copying_ parked message to the Outbox keeps that flag.
However, the Outbox doesn't need the messages to be parked that's why
the RIT Labs programmers decided to use, for example, the same bit in
the message control block to represent the message in the Draft state.

OK, I'll test it this evening after upgrading to 1.49. I'll powder my
head with the ashes if RIT Labs have changed the rules of a game :-(.
