Subject: Saving sent mail

I've been using Pine for a while now after using Elm for many years. One 
feature of Elm that I miss is being able to have sent mail saved by 
username. I haven't seen anything in the Pine docs that mentioned being 
able to do this (though it's certainly possible that I missed it). Can 
this be done currently? If not, is a possible additional feature for some 
future version?

Jeff,

No, we do not currently have an FCC-folder-name-rule, but it is on the 
list for a future release.

Thanks for the suggestion!

I like to do this, too, and do it by periodically redistributing sent-mail
using an alternative .pinerc with a different saved-msg-name-rule. It's
a bit tedious, and means that mail to/from a user ends up in a jumbled
order in a folder. I thought having a sort order by Date rather than 
Arrival would deal with that conveniently.

Since I don't archive all outgoing mail, it's probably better to be able 
to re-distribute it from sent-mail than to re-distribute it as it goes 
out, but it would be handy if I could change the saved-msg-name-rule
at run time, or have a rule to save by-correspondent, i.e. by-sender on 
received mail and by-from on sent mail.
