I would like to be able to record all my mail messages sent via xmh (X11R4)
to a mail folder. Standard Mail can do this with the "set record="
option. Does MH (MH-6.6) offer this capability?
Thanks in advance

Yes, see the MH documentation on the -fcc option and Fcc component, and information related to how to specify these in mh-format(5), mh-mail(5), repl(1), comp(1), forw(1), and mh-profile(5). As an example: create the folder which will receive the messages, and include the following line in in your MH configuration file "components" (for Fcc'ing newly composed mail messages) and optionally in "forwcomps" (for Fcc'ing mail messages that you forward). Fcc: foldername And in .mh_profile, give the -fcc flag to repl (for replies you make): repl: -fcc foldername If you don't already have these MH configuration files in (the default locations of) your Mail and home directory, respectively, you'll need to study the documentation further and/or find an example of them from a friend or in the MH sources under support/general.

MH offers a really nice feature called Folder Carbon Copies (Fcc) and if a message contains a line of the form: Fcc: +outbox A copy of the formatted message will be deposited into your 'outbox' folder when sent. I have the following line in my <mhmaildir>/components file to facilitate automatic recording of messages I send: Fcc: +outbox and this line in my .mh_profile for recording of any messages I reply to: repl: -annotate -inplace -fcc +outbox -nocc me In addition this feature is nice as I get a chance to delete the fcc line when editing the message if I don't want a given message recorded. __
