[PATCH] VIM: Make an option to save sent mail locally

[Franz Fellner]

Why not simply use Notmuch::Database.add_message? Would save a
system-call.
One could easily copy the sent mail into nm_db_path/sent/cur, add it to the db, tag it.
Though I don't know enough about maildir handling, but probably rubys
Mail module could help here.

Another issue is configuration. Hardcoding "Sent" probably won't fit
everyones needs. And (if I understand DOCS correctly) db.add_message
doesn't even force you to keep sent mail folder inside db_path; correct
me if I'm wrong :) notmuch --insert will put it into folder relative to
db_path.

All in all the feature and the the rest of your work is very much
appreciated!
