Please don't chew me out for submitting an enhancement request off of 1.0.1.  I
read the release notes to make sure my request hasn't be added as well as
searched for similar requests before submitting this to bugzilla.

I think the following enhancement request will help keep large volumes of
archived email organized.

Before netscape mail and mozilla mail, I used elm.  Elm would copy my sent
message to the appropriate folder as long as the folder existed and had the name
of the send-to email "address" (i.e I'm sending an email to [e-mail]
and I have a folder named Mail/address).

To make up for what elm used to do, I periodically go through the Sent folder
and file the messages away into their appropriate folders.  I think it would be
really cool if I could choose the folder I want my message saved to in the
composition window.  It could be a new option in the email composition window
that says:

Save Sent Message To: [Drop down box of folders]

The drop down box would always default to the Sent folder specified in your
preferences though.

Feel free to make this a low priority because I do have a work around.

Reproducible: Always

Ok, I felt guilty and I found the rpms on mozilla.org and I installed the latest
versions.  I never tried the Options -> Send To before.  I ignored it because I
always though it was a backwards way of adding a cc'd address.  I now just
realized that this option did exactly what I wanted.  I'm so sorry if I wasted
your time.  I guess the only thing that would make sense for me is if the
wording "Send a copy to" was changed to "Save a copy to".

$ rpm -q mozilla-mail
