Using 19991004m10 build on win98 Send Unsent messages does nothing, it will
crash if I try it to many times or switch folders.  Changing sumnary to state
Windows has problem too since I'm seeing this and original description says
windows is not sending unsent messages.

This problem also occurs on the Mac M10 build 1999-10-01-20-m10.  No message is
sent.  Nothing appears to happen.  There's no terminal window on the Mac to see
what's happening.
Changing platforms to all.

Jeff Tsai has checked in a fix for this few days ago. However, Mac has another
issue for which one I have a fix that I am checking in right now.

this may have been broken by some of my recent changes.

re-assign to me, as I'm the one who broke it and I've got the fix.

checking in soon.  I'll explain more then.

fixed.

I talked with david b, and for send later, we want to default to the local
"Unsent Messages" folder, because when you work off line, this is the only
folder you'll have.

so I added this to mailnews.js:

pref("mail.default_sendlater_uri","mailbox://nobody@Local Mail/Unsent
Messages");

I also fixed what I broke under mozilla/mailnews/compose/src/*.cpp

Win_nt (1999-10-18-09 M11)
I can now send Unsent message on Linux and Win_nt.

Mac (1999-10-19-08 M11)
Unable to check Mac because I cannot create a message and do Send Later.

I used suresh's Mac machine, and it works. The reason is his profile was
migrated before migration broke. So I am going to mark this verified.
