Hello Graham,

How about changing this to move it to the Trash and use a template to
add yourself as a BCC recipient. <see below for more>

With the change above, both your replies and incoming mail would get
moved. You can also play with the "Local Delivery" option to reduce
the load on your mail server. I've found the "Local Delivery" option
is great for basic filters, but you can have problems with certain
filter actions (Run program, auto-reply).

This step can be largely eliminated.

I use this type of technique as well. But what I usually do is just
create a copy of the incoming filter and drag it to the outgoing
filter set. The BCC method is probably better when simplifying
filtering between multiple accounts.
