I don't know how to do this, but I would love to be able to.  One of
the things that makes elm so great is that it can be set to save all
outgoing mail in a folder named by the user to whom the mail is being
sent.  Likewise, when I save a message the default name is prompts
with is the name of the user who sent it.  Thus, with zero effort, I
have a complete record of all mail sent and received sorted by user.
If anyone can tell me how to do something close to this with mh, I'd
switch in a minute.

around priests.  Friends would say, "What do you want to do
tonight?" And I'd say, "Let's take in a Mass!"  - Dave Barry
