No, I was referring to the "Sent" folder, populated by the MUA, either in a local disk or using IMAP. I am not talking about mail you get via the MTA (which is the case for mail forwarded by a list server). > > And if I participate to a thread my sent email goes right in the > middle of many received emails and I do want to see to which ones I > replied and who replied directly to me.

Why are you saying this is a rare case? > under my Thunderbird, when I send a message, a copy is put in a folder named "Sent" (actually "Envoyés" here). The messages in this folder don't have much infos (no Received headers, no X-Spam-* headers, ... etc). In the case of list mail, such copies are not really useful regarding threading, since I also have the copy of my message that was remailed by the list server. (the copies in "Sent" may be useful for other purposes). The only case where there would be a problem is if: (1) I configure my MUA to save copies of my "sent" mail in the same folder(s) as received mail is stored. _and_ (2) I use a threaded view Note that I am not saying that it is ok to "punish" a minority of users.
