Yeah we want to do it but we haven't got to that point yet.  Well I want
to do it anyway.  I dont think we'll have time in 2.0 for it but we will
hopefully be working toward an architecture more suitable for it.

Well all backends are abstracted through the same api, so moving a
message on a server or between servers or from local to local is all the
same thing to the mailer code.

You'd really have to do it in-proc in the mailer at present, but again
the code isn't really there for it yet.
