I thought the owner of a message would be the mailbox, and I wanted
the mailbox of a message.

Then I found the message_get_mailbox() call, but I was trying to figure
out what the conceptual place of owner was. If I understand a concept,
the implementation becomes a detail, if I don't understand the
concept, the implementation is a collection of trivia, and I have
a bad memory for trivia! I get the idea now.

Thanks!

Sam
