Section components-files of this chapter discusses how to make MH keep personal copies of outgoing mail. The method described will cause a copy of every outgoing message to be saved forever and requires the user to go through his Fcc: folder, weeding out those he does not need. The Temporary Draft Folder variable can name a folder whose messages will be deleted and expunged whenever any folder’s messages are expunged. By naming this folder in the MH profile and components files, copies of outgoing messages can be saved temporarily. They will be cleaned up automatically, but the user still has a time frame in which he can permanently save a copy of an outgoing message. This folder can be visited with Message Headers, and messages can be refiled just like any other folder.
