Deen,
Well, I doubt if that's an intentional feature, but it's a by-product of
the way IMail stores saved messages. It basically sends a message to
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]". So, having forwarding turned on will send
those to the forward address, and processing rules won't catch them in
time. This will also be the case with saving unsent messages in the
Draft folder, as those are sent to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".
