After composing your message, and before "s"ending it, you can select
"c"opy from the send menu and clear (line kill or backspace) the folder
into which to save the message.  This will prevent a copy from being
saved.  It does require a manual step, but it's gotten REAL automatic
for me when I know it's a trivial or huge message:

	compose in VI
	ZZc<bs><cr>s

and I'm done.
