Philip, et al -- ...and then Philip Mak said... % % I just had another thought: Might it make sense to store sent mail % together with normal messages?
Whoops; this seemed blindingly obvious to me. Yes, it certainly does make sense. That's why I set $save_name and $force_name (and $copy, of course). I only depart from this for mailing list folders; I procmail my mutt-users mail into =F.mutt but save my fcc in =mutt-users just like any other sent mail. This makes even more sense because I also only check =F.* for new mail. % % A fundamental problem is that mutt's "Search" feature cannot search over % multiple mailboxes. Thus, if I want to review a series of e-mails that I % exchanged with someone about a specific topic, then it may be useful to be % able to see both sides of the conversation. In fact, I often don't save the original message, but only my outbound reply with his message quoted in it. I can follow the conversation well enough iand save *some* disk space (yes, I already save a lot of mail, but one tries to be good :-) and some search time; if I quote little or none of the original, THEN I drop it into =username with its reply.
