Try adding the field Fcc: to your component files.

                             EXAMPLE

Here is a message I composed for myself:

	To: ziegast@egypt.eng.umd.edu
	cc:
	Fcc: +savemail
	Subject: Testing
	-------
	Here is what I sent.

After I send it, I use "scan +savemail" :

	1+ 03/21 To:ziegast         Testing<<Here is what I sent. >>

The message (show +savemail 1):

	To: ziegast@egypt.eng.umd.edu
	Subject: Testing
	Date: Wed, 21 Mar 90 19:13:36 +0000
	From: "Eric Ziegast" <ziegast@egypt.eng.umd.edu>
	
	Here is what I sent.

And in my inbox (show +inbox last):

	From ziegast@egypt.eng.umd.edu  Wed Mar 21 19:13:40 1990
	Return-Path: <ziegast@egypt.eng.umd.edu>
	Received: from abyss.eng.umd.edu by etc . . .
	        id AA17980; Wed, 21 Mar 90 19:13:40 EST
             etc . . .
	Message-Id: <9003220013.AA14852@abyss.eng.umd.edu>
	To: ziegast@egypt.eng.umd.edu
	Subject: Testing
	Date: Wed, 21 Mar 90 19:13:36 +0000
	From: "Eric Ziegast" <ziegast@egypt.eng.umd.edu>
	
	Here is what I sent.

So for your <mh-dir>/components file, you might have:

	To:
	cc:
	Fcc: +savefolder
	Subject:
	--------

And you can make a <mh-dir>/replcomps file by inserting the "Fcc:..."
after the "cc:" part.

Simple enough? For more info on Fcc:, "man 5 mh-mail"
