While moving a message msged clears all attributes, sets the area's default
attributes configured (crash, priv, killsent, hold, direct) and sets local
in any case. And I concur that the attributes should be kept if possible,
i.e. if source and destination areas are of the same type. I've submitted a
patch to Gerrit today. If source and destination area types match, no
attributes are cleared. When they differ, attributes are cleared and set to
the destination area's defaults, but the sent attribute is kept. I think
this should be a sound compromise to prevent any resent messages.

Regards,
Markus
