This is certainly quicker than my solution. The only weak point
here is that held articles are not segregated or flagged in any
way, so the user must remember what items in the mailed or posted
folder have not been sent.

Also, I believe in Dos Yarn the replies are sent (out of Yarn)
when the program is exited, so replies is not a place to save
anything from session to session.

WISH LIST: INBOX/OUTBOX folders with New/Sent/Hold/Keep flags
and expiration based on date (for non-Keep flag).
