how about _not_ saving copies of outgoing mail when you're not using elm
interactively? in nn, i use elm to send mail. when i mail something
to myself (for later perusal, archiving, etc), a copy get saved in
my =sent folder, as well as the =cgw folder, since it was 'To: cgw'.
the only copy i *really* want, of course, is in my =received folder.

um, and what's this about "[nosave]"? someone RTFM me, please?
