Sure.  Put this in your .login or .cshrc:

setenv AUTHORCOPY /users/toto/Sandras_Silly_Thoughts

(BTW, you don't want a filename with a single quote in it [Sandra's];
 if you try to create such a file, you'll get an error message.)

Some people prefer to add a Cc: or Bcc: line to the header, and have
a copy of their article mailed to them rather than appended to one long
file.  That way they can file it according to subject or such.
