Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.2) Installed from: Gentoo Packages It should be possible to specify, on a contact-basis, whether to keep a copy of sent mails or not, overriding the global setting. For instance, most mailing lists will send you your own mails, therefore you don't need to keep a copy. On the other hand, when sending to most people, you'll want to keep a copy.
Most mailing lists also have the option of turning off delivery of your own emails. This looks like overconfigurability for me: too much work for too little gain.
Think so too
