Okay, let me get my feet wet ;)

A few suggestions:

- if a message is in the outbox but cannot be sent, it would be nice
   if I could edit it directly when pressing the 'continue' button
   instead of moving it to the Drafts folder first.

- If I drag and drop a message from the message list window to
   another folder in the folder selection window the message is
   copied, while I expect it to be moved

- If you open a message in a seperate window, balsa doesn't remember
   the placement and size of that message

- If you're not using the preview pane at all, it would be nice to have
   the option to open a message in the existing message-list window
   (like mutt and pine do), once you close the message the message-list
   window should reappear. This way you need the mouse less when
   rapidly scanning through email.

- If I hit 'compose' to compose a new message, it doesn't use the
   identity I set for the currently open folder

- In the folder properties, it would be nice if I could set a standard
   To: header. Either in the folder properties directly or in the
   identities menu.

The last two would be very handy for mailinglists..

Should I file 'enhancement' bugs for each of these ?
