Rule to file a copy of sent mail to both sent mail folder and anot

J

I want all my sent mail to be filed in "sent," but I also sometimes want to
file a message in a folder I might create for a particular topic. I'm
thinking that the "Automatically save sent messages" setting in Options works
differetnly than a rule, so that it "trumps" rules. Therefore, when I save a
message in a folder, there's no copy in the Sent Mail folder. This causes me
to search for messages in Sent Mail that I can't find, only to remember that
I saved it in a folder. I'd like to have it in both. Any way to set that up?

If you create a rule that moves a copy of an outgoing message to another
folder and you have enabled the option to save sent messages in Sent Items,
then the rule will make a copy, just as it says., and you'll have the message
in both the Sent Items folder and the folder the rule specifies.
