The Compose Settings dialog

The Compose Settings dialog provides several overrides for the compose window. This dialog initially shows the default values for the compose window. Values can be changed, or "un-set". If setting is removed, it will be re-established by the normal compose window processing. The following settings can be modified.

Specify the Sent Folder
The Sent Folder specifies where a copy of the outgoing message should be saved. When the message is successfully sent, a copy of the message will be moved from the Outbox to the location specified by the Sent Folder.

If no checkbox is checked, the Compose window will resolve a default Sent Folder from the Address Book entry for the first address, or from the default persona.

Specify the persona
The Persona is a Choice box showing a list of the available persona. Specify a persona, or choose "no persona" by selecting the first item in the list - a blank line. If no persona is chosen, the compose window will re-select a default persona based upon the addressing.
Specify the CharacterSet
The CharacterSet is used to encode any High ASCII characters in the composed message. The CharaterSet will be specified in a Mime content header in the outgoing message. If no High ASCII characters are used, a MIME will not typically be included in the message. It is not possible to choose "no Character Set".

If this dialog is closed with the OK button, the changes will be applied to the compose window. If Cancel is used or the window is closed any other way, the changes will not be applied.
