Most gui'zed stuff these days stashes a copy of your outgoing into a
"Sent" folder.  T-Bird's conversation view creates a virtual view
which composes an thread for the conversation pulling from both INBOX
and Sent folders.  And it does this +/- "automagically" if you're
reading any particular message and call it up (Ctrl-o, I think??).
This view is ephemeral and goes away when you're done, leaving all
messages in their respective folders w/o refiling anything.

I'm pretty sure Wanderlust can emulate same but I'm still pretty new
to it myself and haven't got around to investigating it.  Moreover,
I'm not sure I even want to maintain the "Sent" folder for outgoing
messages management paradigm, as once upon a time I had Sieve scripts
filing everything on a per context basis into respective folders.
