Me too. It's just that I don't like to put my own messages in INBOX. I
know I can lower their score so they don't show up, but I occasionally
have to use other mail clients. Going to some other group to retrieve a
summary buffer for a message I just sent (especially when I'm working
disconnected) is no fun at all.

Still, there ougt to be a cleaner way...
