Oh yes. With dumbass clients like that (IIRC OE5 does it too) the best way
is to set up a "dummy profile" as default, with the same settings, and then
have your actual user profile as another account.
So, you compose mail and save it offline using your actual profile. When
you hit "send and receive" what happens is that the mailbox is popped using
the dummy profile and then OE sends out mail using your actual profile.
Far better - use a client like Eudora. Or Pegasus Mail.
