In short, yes.
I use
set record="!"
in my .muttrc, so that (most) messages I send are saved into my inbox.
(The inbox is usually, but not always, the folder from which I'm sending
the mail; if I sent from elsewhere, and $save_name doesn't set the Fcc
automatically for me, I either manually change the Fcc before sending, or
save the message out of my inbox later.)
