Subject: Can default-fcc be set to inbox?

OUR PROBLEM

We want to copy to ourself each message that is sent out.  Is there anyway
in which we can configure pine to do this automatically? 

POSSIBLE SOLUTION?

Set the default-fcc variable (of ~/.pinerc) as follows:
   default-fcc=inbox
This seems to work (provided IMAP is not used), e.g.:
   inbox-path=/var/spool/mail/dcl0bjc
Although this seems to work, is this stretching the Pine system?
In particular, will the file-locking on the inbox cope with this?

Note, if IMAP is used, e.g.:
   inbox-path={vega}inbox
then the message is Fcc-ed to the file ~/{vega}inbox.  Is this a bug?
Most of our users use IMAP rather than NFS-mounting their inbox.
So we would prefer:
   default-fcc=inbox
to work with IMAP.   Will it require much work to get this working?
