There will be four tabs which will be appearing for groupwise accounts.
I too think this will be much better, will make a snap shot for it and
send the same.

I thought of having it right click menu, and if the general options are
changed, the changes would reflect in all the components. If the status
tracking options setting are changed it would be changed only for the
particular component.

I don't think whether its a good idea to put it there (View->options),
since there will be a problem of displaying the send options settings
for a account when we have more than one account of the same type.
