In addition to Roady's comments, if you want to have your copy in Sent Items
Categorised to help with your data storage and retrieval, try using Rules
that apply to emails after sending. EG If the email contains "MVP" put it
in the MVP Stuff Category. I find this useful for filing.
I hope this helps you at least a little bit!

Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we
can find information on it.
