[MlMt] very slow autofill of addresses

[aisrael]

Bill, just one question : when you write *at headers in a mailbox of 
your selection (by default: ‘Recipient" headers of the Sent aggregate 
mailbox.*), does it mean the messages that actually sit in the Sent 
mailbox, or all messages which have actually been sent? The reason I am 
asking is that my sent messages don’t stay in the Sent mailbox (which 
is almost empty), as I distribute them in the relevant mailboxes  (and I 
don’t .cc myself when I send a message, as it unnecessarily duplicates 
emails).
