Ken, That is one scenario that is often stated. The other, is to make the message return to the inbox; though solutions have been given for that desire.
One option that I don't recall if it's been suggested, for the other address option I just thought of was to make another GMail account, and have it POP the messages out of your account. These messages would also come from the Sent folder, catching everything sent, and go straight to the inbox view of that account. I've also heard the desire for two users to know that the other had already responded to an e-mail both had received. With conversation view turned on, this should be obvious, and having two different accounts POP from each other (or some group in round-robin fashion) should have the same effect.
