Thanks Ben!  That did it exactly.  Definitely a weird way to solve my 
problem though.  In Copies&Folders though, what I had to do was just for 
'Place a copy in:' to be '"Sent" Folder on:' instead of the 'Other:" 
that I was using instead.

I only had the 'Other:' checked because I've over time had my sent mail 
copied to a folder called 'sent_mail' instead of whatever the default 
sent folder is for the program I'm using.  So after taking the mozilla 
default here, I just copied over from *my* sent mail folder to mozilla's 
one.

Bottom line I'm a happy camper!
