nominate as nsbeta3. This is already fixed for the Sent folder. Drafts and 
Unsent Messages should behave the same way for consistency.

Attached patch that fixes this.  I think there might be internationalization
issues with how the Drafts and Unsent folders are recognized, though.

I've modified the patch to work for the "Unsent Messages" folder and I've
commmented out some dump statements.

I'll attach the new patch.  mscott / bienvenu, sr=?

the patch is i18n safe.  in this case, "Drafts", "Sent" and "Unsent Messages"
are not used in the UI.  they are literal values used in the msg folder datasource.

jglick, was there some other bug related to this?  like "double clicking on a
message in unsent message folder did the wrong thing"?  I can't find it, but I
remember you commenting on it recently.
