Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 74134

 I send lots of emails daily, and some of them are interesting to keep them (in
the Sent Folder) and the rest are just answers that I delete after sending them. 

 I spend 50% of my time doing Compose -> Send -> go to Sent folder -> delete
last sent message. Only a couple of emails need to be really saved on the Sent
folder.

 It would be interesting to have a simple Checkbox in the compose window that
determines if the message must be saved on Sent Mail folder or not. That way, I
could disable the "Place a copy of sent mail in XXX folder" option in
preferences and "check in" that checkbox when a message I'm composing is useful
and I want to save it.

 I imagine that the feature I'm asking for is very trivial and easy to
implement. Maybe it could be written as a thunderbird extension ... if so,
please let me know where could I ask in order to find someone interested in
writing such an extension.

 In any case, thanks a lot for this nice and almost perfect mail client :)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compose message 
2. Send message


Actual Results:  
The email is saved in Sent folder. 
I must go to that folder to delete it.

Expected Results:  
A checkbox in the compose window disabling/enabling the "Save the message in
Sent folder" would avoid me going to the Sent folder 290834897298472897234 times
