Namely for the e-mail archives....but found my own dumb bug - I got it correct 
above, but had a mapFromParent() on the origin which made it go all over the 
place.
While the inconsistency was still not quite expected, it is nice as it showed a 
glaring issue right up front. (It would have been quite a pain finding it 
otherwise.)

Tired vs Fresh minds...
