The current Draft method works well for me...

Good idea.  Interrupted fetches require you to close and re-start the program 
currently...

I always wondered why both were required.

And, how about an option to trim the headers in the forwarded message down to 
just From, To, Date, and Subject?  I frequently do this manually.  The only time I 
want full headers is when I am reporting spammers.  Actually, I see this is in #48 
below.

Yes, this has been a problem for me... if I'm away for a day, then download my 
mail, it is very annoying to get 299 out of 300 messages, have my ISP hang up on 
me for some reason, then have to download 300 messages again.  :(

That is what most e-mail programs do (and not just for aliases, but for any 
address), so that would be nice...

I've seen this one...

That's the big one... :)

I see I'm not the only one... :)

Yes!

This works fine in OS/2...

As long as it hasn't been sent yet, just open it, change it, and hit Send.

How to change them is in the online help.

The implied domain is the one for your SMTP server.  :)
