  I cannot see from your description, but it appears that you might
have made a slight error in declaring what 'folder' you want your
mail to go into. If you declare the <folder> with a directory, then
ELM will figure you want each message to be sorted. But, if you declare
the <folder> with a file name, ie: outbound   then, ELM will save
all your outgoing messages in there. 
 
  I once set the outbound <folder> to:  mbox    This had interesting
effects. Due to the fact that ELM only saves incoming messages AFTER
your quit, and outbound messages immediately after sending them, if I
looked at mbox, my replys would come before the messages that
 prompted them. :-)

  Good luck.
