[X4U] Possible Fix for Sent Mail

[Vicki Allwardt]

I hope this isn't too simplistic; I am still using Mail 1.2.5(v553).  
Opened the Sent file and clicked on the "TO" tab at the top, thus 
alphabetizing all the messages.  Selected 12 messages and dragged them 
to the mailbox I created for them.  The "TO" heading switched to my 
name because now it reads "From", but it works and all the messages are 
in the separate mailbox and have retained the proper subject line, 
date, and time.
