Can't mark as expecting reply through the compose window when the email is not saved in the sent folder #10

"Hi,I love the idea for this plugin, but for some reason, the checkbox to "expect replies by" in the compose window does not work for me either (I see Aaron had the same problem with version 0.4). I need to manually go into my Sent folder, and go through the menu. This makes it very unfriendly to use :(

UPDATE: I have identified the cause for this: I don't place a copy of my sent emails in "Sent" in my Account Settings, because my IMAP server does it for me every time I send an email, and I don't want to see each email I sent twice in my Sent Folder. Because of this, the gMsgCompose.savedFolderURI variable, in ComposeProcessDone (line 77 of replyManagerComposeOverlay.js) is empty "", and this prevents the header from being located. In fact, my Sent folder is only updated once I go into the folder.

UPDATE2: Thankfully I am using DavMail to connect to my office server. I was able to configure it to not place a mail in "sent", and allow TB to do it. Now, everything is working fine :)" by yannack through add-on review
