[MlMt] include contents of one smart mailbox in another

[Robert Brenstein]

What stops you from setting mailbox B as the source for mailbox A?
If you do that, then the conditions you set for A apply only to mails 
that are shown in B.
You can have multiple source mailboxes for smart mailboxes, those being 
either true mailboxes, combo mailboxes or smart mailboxes.
