Subject: How to save outgoing mail by addressee?

I have been dragged kicking and screaming into the world of Pine, because 
Elm is combining messages.  I cannot for the life of me figure out how to 
get Pine to save outgoing messages in the same folder that incoming 
messages get saved to, that is a different folder for each person/mailing 
list to whom/which I send mail.  For instance, I am on the CIRCPLUS 
mailing list, and whenever I send mail to the list from Elm the mail gets 
saved in the file ~/mail/circplus.  Mail to [email-masked] goes into 
~/mail/joeblow.  Can Pine do this?  How?

  One way I found and am using is to set up aliases and set default fcc 
in them (according to the the name). But this requires sending mail 
primarily to the same users.

    There is a quick-and-dirty workaround by hand.  When you prepare an 
outgoing email or newsgroup posting, put the cursor into the header, on 
the line Fcc: .  Press Ctrl-K to erase what is there and type in the name 
of the folder you want to save the message to.  When you send the 
message, Pine will cheerfully save the message in the folder you 
specified.  I do this all the time.  (By the way, if you clear the Fcc: 
line and put nothing in it, Pine will not save the outgoing message at 
all.)

I found the solution to my own problem, with cues from people who
answered me here and by mail.  I just set "fcc-name-rule" to
"by-recipient."  Now everything I send out gets saved into a folder
with then name of the email address I'm sending it to.

You Didn't say which version of Pine you are using.  In version
3.91 there is a variable called "fcc-name-rule".  Setting this to
"by-recipient" should do what you want.  It is accessible from the
"Setup Configuration" screen.  Go to M)ain, S)etup, C)onfig.  The
online help says the following:

To get incoming messages saved by "sender" you need to set the
variable "saved-msg-name-rule" to "by-sender".

Hope this helps.
