User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.11) Gecko/20071128 SUSE/1.1.7-5.1 SeaMonkey/1.1.7

I consider return receipts as any other message send on my request. However, I notice return receipts are not saved to the sent folder and I can not find any option to do so by default.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. receive email with Disposition-Notification-To in header
2. confirm sending the return receipt to sender
3. check mail folders for sent return receipt, no sent return receipt found
Actual Results:  
Return receipts are not saved as send message

Expected Results:  
Return receipt saved as send message in such mailfolder.

Did not try this for return receipts send by default when a message with Disposition-Notification-To is received

I expect this bug will be WONTFIXed but not by me -- the decision has to come from higher up. I'm not really sure who though. Bienvenu? Standard8? Someone else? (Please add him/her if (s)he doesn't already receive this bugmail.)

I wonder why this option has never been implemented. Is it some kind of a security issue or something like that?
