[gnu.emacs] sendmail with improved FCC: ?

Has anyone ever improved on the sendmail.el feature of ``FCC:'' in the
subject heading appending outbound mail to that file?

This is done by sendmail::mail-do-fcc. The problem I have is that I
read in my FCC file to purge copies of the outbound mail. I don't do
this as frequently as I should because reading in the file converts
it to BABYL format & makes the buffer R/O. When you write more mail,
you get an error telling you that your mail-archive-file-name file
is R/O.

I'd like to have a similar hack which outputs mail to a BABYL file
(or unix mail, whatever). I looked at rmailout.el & it wasn't immediately
clear that it would be simple w/o duplicating much of the work there
(simple, but not clean).

So, I'm hoping that others have wanted to do this & have a clean solution
all done. True?
