Selectively Saving Outbound Messages

I would like to be able to automatically save selected outbound messages.
For example, I would like to save outbound and inbound (already done with
a filter) messages that are part of a continuing conversation in a specific
folder, but I don't want to save messages that are one-time only.

Right now I have two choices. The first is to save everything, but then
I have to manually clean up my mail directory. The other choice is to 
manually save messages, but unfortunately I forget to do that.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. BTW- I'm using Elm 2.3 PL11.

Steve

This is something that alot of my elm users have also requested.  Maybe a
question in the dialog for sending which would ask the user if they would
like to save a copy of the outbound message in a particular folder.  This
could then give the recipient name as the default choice of folder.  Sure
would cut down on the amount of manual housekeeping.
