'best' or 'simplest'?

There already exists logic for determining which account a given
outgoing message belongs to, because that's how the :sendmail: target
is being used.

If you are arguing that having a different sent_source per (outgoing)
message is useful, then perhaps a hook makes sense; but the simpler
case probably doesn't need it.

Certainly the sent_source mbox shouldn't be subject to something
inconvenient like delivery of new mail while we're updating it :-) but
I'm not sure that mbox people would be unhappy having sent mail in a
separate file ... ?
