How can I get a message that I create from scratch go to a folder (other
than "Sent Items") automatically after I send it?

Hi. Me again.
I don't think the above question was very clear. Let me explain.
I can make a rule that will check the message after I send it and move a
SINGLE COPY of that message to a certain folder. This is fine if I create
the message by typing in the email address from a business card, for
example. But if I "reply" to a message I get TWO COPIES of it in the folder
because I've also checked the box that says:
"In folders other than the Inbox, save replies with original message."
How do I get around this problem?

Okay, one more try.
I have checked the box for the option that says:
"In folders other than the Inbox, save replies with original message"
This works great when I am replying to a message sent to me.
However, if I start an email by clicking the "New" button, and then send it
to a contact, the sent email doesn't automatically go into the folder of the
person I am sending it to, it goes to the "Sent Items" folder. It's a
nuisance to go to the "Sent Items" folder and move the message to the
contact's folder, so I made a rule to check "after the message is sent" and
put a copy of it in the proper contact's folder.
But now, when I REPLY to an email, I get TWO copies in the contact's folder.
One copy is from the "Save replies in same folder" option.
The other copy is from the check after message is sent option.

You can do it on a per-message basis. When composing the message using the
Outlook editor (not Word), click View>Options and there's a field called
"Save sent messages to" and you can browse to any folder Outlook can access.

Thank you for answering, Brian!
(Although your answer is a little disappointing....
You'd think this would be a big enough annoyance so that it would have been
addressed by now. Sheesh.
