No, I have quite a complex hierarchy of 'current' mail, what I want to
be able to do is, while I'm navigating around the mail, select and
send some mails off to somewhere else to keep my 'current' mail a
manageable size. I want the 'somewhere else' to have the same
hierarchy as my current mail, hence wanting to know where I'm saving
the mail from.
