Sure, I have moved this message to where its border is visible to the 
right of the kmail screen by about half a cm. This is workspace 12 on the 
12 space setup. I have the latest appimage of openscad running on space 
4, an mc to copy its results over the local net to the machine driving my 
3d printer, and have a shelf I've designed open in openscad on space 4, 
plus all the other machines I am logged into are one bats of a shell on 
window 3. I'll go check on these.  I was gone for about 5 minutes, but 
everything was normal when I came back to 12. A hotkey combo from a fat 
fingered typo maybe? I do know that I can be typeing away in the 
composer, look up at the screen and without me touching the mouse, I have 
typed the last two sentences into the search box. What triggered that, 
IDK. The regular find a message search is busted too, as if you want it 
to search the complete folder, every message MUST be exposed in the list 
space, if its not exposed there, search does scan it.

And I still haven't found where its stashing sent messages, which has 
been random at every reboot or reinstall of bullseye which I've done 
about 20 times thanks to having a couple fdti seriel adapter plugged it 
so without my sayso, it itstalls brltty and orca. Kill those and you 
cannot reboot, it hangs at about 10 seconds into post and you must 
reinstall.  But since the last reboot about 3 weeks back, its not saveing 
the messages I send anyplace I've found.  This last is really a PITA so 
lets fix that first, where is it supposed to be saving the messages I 
send?

I cannot find anyplace in the kmail configure menu's, where its even 
specified.
