If you are looking to put messages with certain criteria (recipient,
subject) into a different folder, you can set up a filter to act on
messages Outgoing (Post-Send). The message will be placed in that
folder instead of the Sent folder. I will add this to the 'enhancement'
(fancy term, heh?) list as well.

This is coming, I don't have an expected release, but after talking
with Peter today, I am all but certain that this will be added in the
future. The major problem with this is that when a filter specifies a
folder, it is specific to the account that the filter is created in.
Each folder has a unique ID that the filter uses to identify the
folder, so one possibility is a global filter that sends all messages
to one folder (ie, Spam) versus each accounts Spam folder. This is
still being worked out, but it looks like it will be done.

We discussed this as well, but there was no real conclusion on how this
should be done. I don't have a definite answer on this one, but it is
being discussed.
