220123 - need "Send and File" option/button on Compose, to put sent message in folders other than "Sent" (i.e. not in Sent)

Status: NEW

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, enhancement)

Description

[Simon Pope]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030701
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030701

I deal with a lot of mail (like most people) and one thing that bothers me is
that after sending a mail message I have to go to the "Sent" folder and move the
message to the folder that I want to file the email message under. This seems
rather long-winded, so I think that a "Send and File" button/menu option seems
like a good idea.

Reproducible: Always

Mail can be stored in a folder by choosing Options > Send copy to or by setting
a default folder where a copy of the message should be placed in.

It would be nice if there was an option to override which folder the message
gets stored in without editing account preferences, that is a simple

[ Send ] Send message and store in the default folder as defined in the account
preferences

[ Send & File ] Send message and store in a chosen folder instead of the default
folder defined in the account preferences

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
