I suspect that you're confusing messages for a mailing list and normal
non-list  messages.

When  you  send  a normal (non-list) message, TB sends the email, then
plops  it  into  the  Sent  folder.  The SMTP server delivers the mail
to the mail server of the recipient, and that's it.

When you send a message to a mailing list, TB sends the email, then
plops it into the Sent folder. The SMTP server delivers the message to
the  mail  server  of  the  mailing  list.   The mailing list software
retrieves  the  message  from  the mailbox, and sends it to all of the
list  members.  Since you're a list member, you get a copy of your own
message sent back to you.


People will generally take one of these actions:

Save nothing: All sent mail is deleted after sending, and all received
mail  will  be  deleted  after  reading,  unless it looks interesting.
(Probably won't see many of these people using TB!)

Save  non-duplicates:  Save  personal  mail after sending, delete list
mail  after  sending  (since get a copy of it back), save all received

Save  everything:   All  sent  mail  is  saved  after sending, and all
received mail is saved.
