set record="=sent-mail" in your ~/.muttrc.
For further details read the section about
"record" in the mutt manual 6.1.

Best regards - Juergen.

After a while, I went to this suggestion,
which came to this list a few months ago:

set record="+Record/s-`date +%Y-%m`"  # default location to save outgoing mail

(makes a new folder each month)

Cheers, N.

Cool.  I like to compress my archived sent mail, though.  I just have:

set record="=sent/current"

in my .muttrc and this crontab entry:

1 0 1 * * -D mv /home/luke/Mail/sent/current \
/home/luke/Mail/sent/`date -I`; bzip2 \
/home/luke/Mail/sent/`date -I`

This setup keeps this month's sent mail in a ~/Mail/sent/current and
leaves compressed archives that look like 2000-09-01.bz2 in the same
directory.  (Yes, I realize I don't need the day to be in the date if
I do this monthly, but if I ever decide to have it happen more often,
it's one less thing for me to change.  Trust me, I'd forget ;-)

I hope you use a different key each month.  That way, when the courts come
looking for your gpg key(s) you don't have to hand over the key(s) to your
*entire* set of encrypted data.

Not familiar with that one.  Haven't actually needed to check anything
in the compressed archives yet, so I've not really played around with
ways to read them.  I ought to check it out one of these days.
