Keywords: saving outgoing mail to particular files

I would like to organize my correspondance so that all letters to and
from a particular person would be stored in a single file.  Is there any
way to do this using "set record", so that a letter to joe@somewhere would
be saved in the file mbox.joe?

I tried using an alias redirection such as the one suggested for those who
would like to be able to print letters without saving them.  I tried using
	alias joe joe@somewhere "|cat>>mbox.joe"
but then found out that the aliases are made backwards, so that this was
treated as "| cat >> mbox.joe joe@somewhere".  It would save the local
copy, but nothing would be sent.

I tried reversing the order:
	alias joe "|cat>>mbox.joe"  joe@somewhere
but this didn't work either.

Any suggestions?
