It is a moment when your message lives your computer/MUA. What duplicated messages? When the message is sent, the "stamp" is written in headers, and the copy with the identical headers is delivered to your sent folder as well, so that you have evidence where it is sent, without complicating things by sending to yourself the copies. *If* adding such a simple feature to TB would be "a departure from current way of thought behind TB", then it is simply badly considered way. There is nothing more normal and logical than putting a stamp on a letter's cover. The date of creating is in the letter itself, and date of sending is on its cover. "Way of thought" should be in accordance with factual processes of mailing. Well, if we are dealing with mailing. If we are dealing with something else, than we may think and muse of something else.
