Date: Wed, 19 May 2021 15:34:52 +0530 Message-ID: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit User-Agent: Gnus/5.13 (Gnus v5.13) Emacs/28.0.50 (darwin) Cancel-Lock: sha1:7NRqIG5Y+kTC7JNkmnzoYFVodnI= List-ID: Precedence: bulk Some mail providers give control to us. But some of them keep sent emails in a separate folder, often called ‘Sent Items’. In the first case, we can configure the ‘Gcc’ header via gcc-self gnus-parameter. In the 2nd case, where sent-emails are already stored in ‘Sent Items’, if I don’t want to store a redundant copy, what is the proper way to keep threads intact, at least in view? Some mail providers are even more notorious. Even if I keep a redundant copy of a sent-email in my folder of choice (‘Inbox’), they remove it from there after sometime; probably after matching Message-ID etc. I want to know what do Gnus users generally do to solve this. I understand that it is not necessary to keep it that way i.e. threaded. And my basic problem is not threaded conversations. The main problem is search and looking messages in context. So, if I can view all the messages in an ephemeral group then that would also solve my problem. In fact, that would encourage me to keep sent emails in a different folder instead of ‘Inbox’. All of the above is in the context of IMAP backend. -- Regards, Pankaj Jangid
