Hi, folks.  I've been following this thread a bit and I wanted to put
in my argument that using Bcc is *NOT* the way to save local copies of
sent mail.  I really don't think that we need to require that the mail
actually get send out to the world wide net just to save a copy of it
locally.  I think there must be better ways of doing this.

There must be a way to tell emacs message-mode to save a copy of
outgoing mail locally.  Mutt does this with it's Fcc commands
(ie. "file carbon copy").  I think we should look for a solution
like this.

I definitely want to save copies of all of my outgoing mail locally,
but I think that doing that with Bcc is the wrong way to do it.

jamie.
