I think you are asking way to much of this program. It is important to
remember that this is a web based MUA. There are only so many things
that can be incorporated easily into such a system.

From the sounds of what you are describing, it appears like you want a
full blown PIM/MUA. You would probably be better off investigating a
commercial MUA such as MS Outlook 2003 or something along those lines.
