Here is the backtrace when this happens:

What I mean is that although the post gets sent to the news server, I
am left in a Message buffer (showing the message I just sent) in, I
guess, "composition" mode-- no commands are available (that I can
find) to copy the message to my sent-mail folder manually... which I
would like to do so I have some record of sending that post.
