I'd like to keep a record of all mail I send in a draft folder. Is there an easy way to convince MH *NOT* to prepend the filename with a comma after the message gets sent?

Put the line Fcc: +outbox in your components file, and it'll automatically file away outgoing messages there. Or put it in any folder you like by editing the Fcc: line. --Ed

My MH correctly removes the Fcc: field in outgoing mail (even in the saved
copy in the folder!).
This is according to the documentation of MH 6.5.
Maybe it was a bug in an earlier version of MH?

MH removes Fcc: headers from mail that you send. If you want to make it stop acting upon the Fcc: headers on incoming mail, edit your replcomps file (get a copy from the MH lib directory if necessary) and rip out the section dealing with Fcc:. It seems that mail is filed by the send program AFTER being translated into RFC822 form (get rid of Fcc:, add Date:, lose the -------- line if any, add From:, etc).
