Subject: Exporting what I have just written

Is there a simple way of exporting the message I have just sent to a file.
I know I can do it by going first to the main menu, then to the folders-
menu, then switch current folder to "sent-mail", then opening this
folder, then exporting the last entry in it, and then going back to
the main menu and then to the folders menu and switching back to
the incoming folder again.

But that seems to me a little too clumsy. Especially since the
other mail system I use, SuperKOM, gives me a copy of the last
read message on a file with just one single command, as opposed
to the 7 commands in sequence which Pine requires.

If you always want to have your outgoing messages stored in a folder other
than sent-mail then why not change the value default-fcc in your .pinerc
file? 

On the other hand if you want to selectively specify the folder for
outgoing mail then use the pseudo Header-field Fcc: which becomes visible
when you enable the "Rich-Hdr" facility.  Of course this does assume you
are in a position to make such a decision before you send the mail
