Add option to specify Fcc: when using rich headers (Ctrl+R) to save outgoing emails directly to the correct folder

[Drag0nFly]

It would be useful to have an option to specify/modify the default folder outgoing email gets dropped into, similar to the way Alpine accomplishes this via offering a pre-filled Fcc: field (which is set by default to your sent folder) and which can be changed by specifying a folder name and (ptionally) hitting <Tab> to complete it.

Thanks for considering.

Hi @Drag0nFly - while currently not possible to set during run-time in nchat, I just wanted to mention that there is a configuration option to specify where outgoing messages are stored (this is assuming your mail service provider does not automatically store outgoing mails, because then you will end up with two copies).

In ~/.config/nmail/main.conf set the following parameter to have nmail save copies of sent mails:
client_store_sent=1

Then in the same file set sent= parameter to the IMAP folder name you'd like to store sent messages, for example:
sent=Sent

Just wanted to confirm that the above is not sufficient, and that for this feature request it's important to have the option at run-time (like Alpine rich header Fcc: field)?

Hi Kristofer–

thanks for the information about the Sent folder name configuration, it is useful in order to specify a default location for outgoing messages. What I was specifially requesting was indeed–as you are alluding to–to assign an outgoing email to the relevant (categorized) folder when sending, which I often (rather, always) do instead of going back to the Sent folder and moving said message into where it belongs.

That was the reason for the feature request–hopefully it would be useful to others as well.

Sure, thanks for confirming 👍
