:When I _send_ a mail message with elm, I would like to be able to save it
:to Mail/person_named_folder and, when necessary, to a common reference
:file (This is for mail from which I wish to generate a hard-copy for the
:"official record").  In Berkeley mail, it is possible to add to the
:address line a file name such as ./saved.msg.  This does not seem to
:work with elm.  The only way that I have found to do this is to change
:to the person_named_folder and copy to the "official record" file.
Elm does not support files as named addresses itself, but if you MTA
does, the you could do it.  All Elm does is pass the address list off to
the MTA.
