Yes, see the MH documentation on the -fcc option and Fcc component, and 
information related to how to specify these in mh-format(5), mh-mail(5),
repl(1), comp(1), forw(1), and mh-profile(5).

As an example: create the folder which will receive the messages, and 
include the following line in in your MH configuration file "components"
(for Fcc'ing newly composed mail messages) and optionally in "forwcomps"
(for Fcc'ing mail messages that you forward).

Fcc: foldername

And in .mh_profile, give the -fcc flag to repl (for replies you make):

repl: -fcc foldername

If you don't already have these MH configuration files in (the default
locations of) your Mail and home directory, respectively, you'll need to
study the documentation further and/or find an example of them from a friend 
or in the MH sources under support/general.
