- It's not an obscure option though, but it works like this... Configure
- your ~/.elm/elmrc to auto-save all outgoing mail, then make exceptions
- like this:
-
- - compose your message as usual, and just before s)end-ing
- it, choose c)opy message from this menu:
-
- Choose e)dit message, !)shell, h)eaders, c)opy file, s)end, or f)orget.
-
- - copy will say:
-
- Save copy in (use '?' for help/to list folders): <conditionally save by name>
-
- - then hit <Backspace> and <Return> and notice the reply
-
- Save copy in (use '?' for help/to list folders): <no save>
-
- - then send the message as usual.
-
-
- Hope this helps.
