IMHO that is a weird behavior and I think that no user will expect
anything like that, so I'm not really in favor of that solution. I would
simply not allow it because it's a infinite recursive operation by
definition, and I believe also that it wouldn't subtract flexibility
from tinymail.

Thx :), it was OK, I relaxed myself a lot during these three weeks so
I'm back again with full-charged batteries.
