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

Does MH (MH-6.6) offer this capability? Try adding the field Fcc: to your component files. EXAMPLE Here is a message I composed for myself: To: ziegast@egypt.eng.umd.edu cc: Fcc: +savemail Subject: Testing ------- Here is what I sent. After I send it, I use "scan +savemail" : 1+ 03/21 To:ziegast Testing<<Here is what I sent. >> The message (show +savemail 1): To: ziegast@egypt.eng.umd.edu Subject: Testing Date: Wed, 21 Mar 90 19:13:36 +0000 From: "Eric Ziegast" <ziegast@egypt.eng.umd.edu> Here is what I sent. And in my inbox (show +inbox last): From ziegast@egypt.eng.umd.edu Wed Mar 21 19:13:40 1990 Return-Path: <ziegast@egypt.eng.umd.edu> Received: from abyss.eng.umd.edu by etc . . . id AA17980; Wed, 21 Mar 90 19:13:40 EST etc . . . Message-Id: <9003220013.AA14852@abyss.eng.umd.edu> To: ziegast@egypt.eng.umd.edu Subject: Testing Date: Wed, 21 Mar 90 19:13:36 +0000 From: "Eric Ziegast" <ziegast@egypt.eng.umd.edu> Here is what I sent. So for your <mh-dir>/components file, you might have: To: cc: Fcc: +savefolder Subject: -------- And you can make a <mh-dir>/replcomps file by inserting the "Fcc:..." after the "cc:" part. Simple enough? For more info on Fcc:, "man 5 mh-mail" _______________________________________________________________________ ziegast@eng.umd.edu - {uunet}!eng.umd.edu!ziegast - ziegast@umdd.bitnet Eric W.

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. __

I use the Fcc: to keep copies of my outgoing mail. I have a problem, though, in that the format of the Date: header in the copy I get from the Fcc: is not parsable by pick, or other mh tools that try to parse the date. All mail that I send gets to it's destinations with the proper Date: header, even those I send to myself by any mechanism other than Fcc:. Does anyone have any experience with this problem? How about a fix?
