The general problem with this is that there's never more than one
author, but there may be several recipients.  Which recipient do you
want it filed under?

Have you considered using "set record", then occasionally changing
to the record folder and typing:

    set reply_to_hdr = to
    save -a * ~/Mail | delete

?  Of course, then you have to sort the various folders by date when
you examine them ....

How about:

#----- 8< ----- CUT HERE ----- 8< ----- CUT HERE ----- 8< -----
#! /bin/sh
#
# Call this file "record_users" and put it somewhere in your $PATH,
# say in $HOME/bin.  Make it executable (chmod +x).  Add to .mushrc:
#
#	set record='|record_users'
#
# or if your machine can't do #!, try:
#
#	set record="|sh $HOME/bin/record_users"
#
# Saves outgoing mail to the folder named for the first person on
# the To: line.  If there isn't anyone on the To: line, saves it
# under your own login name, probably.

cat > /tmp/out$$
mush -N -f /tmp/out$$ -i <<EOF 2>&1 > /dev/null
set reply_to_hdr = to
save -a * ~/Mail
delete *
quit
EOF

exit 0
