Thank you for the extensive tests.

You are in a bit-rot race with Standard8 with bug 512916.  He seemed to think that he was definitely going to beat any competitors, saying something about approval...

Please make the following typo fix:

Though you'll have to fix the bitrot as well as I checked in the patch to move mailTabType this morning.
