Correct.

No need to. I would have gotten it anyway, just like all of TBUDL
since November.

Correct again.

Most of my TB! templates insert my address in the bcc box, so I don't
have to look for them in sent. I think I also had a copy filtered to a
self bbc folder on one account, which for some reason prevents it from
being placed in sent.
What I really want is the virtual folder / column feature that TB!2 is
said to have. I want to see it all together as it comes in, without
having to treat it all as one one account. That was the part of
Calypso that I did like, along with being able to pause an account
(not have it download with the rest) by write clicking on it, it's off
line mode was good also, and being able to send a single message from
the outbox by right clicking on it. TB! will send all of them I
believe, unless you open it first.
Otherwise though, Calypso sucks - their tech support is a nightmare
and the Calypso users list receives a message every 4 months. The TB!
multi-lingual message editor is so far above Calypso's that there's no
comparison.

Then it did nothing.

Compress does not apply a compression algorithm then.
Thanks for the clear explanations, Januk.
