Heh --- I get around 200 messages a day; I'm not going to notice
another dozen.  Thanks for the thought, though.

It's not so much that I want to get a copy as that I want there to
*be* a copy of everything, accessible to both of us in the files
for reference.  I keep copies of all IAP related mail in
/afs/sipb.mit.edu/project/iap/org.2001/mail.  I've simplified
filing stuff there for myself by creating an alias to it in my
Mail directory called "iap".  To do ths same in your Mail dir:
cd ~/Mail; ln -s /afs/sipb.mit.edu/project/iap/org.2001/mail iap

If you use mh (the standard athena mailers all do), and if you set
up an alias like that, you can automatically file copies of mail
you send into it by adding an Fcc line to the header --- my header
on this message, for instance, reads:

    Fcc: iap

You can refile messages you've stored in another folder into that
folder with the refile command:

refile <message list> +iap

(And now to apologize if these directions are too simplistic; it's
just that I don't know what you know about unix & mh so thought it
best to be detailed.)

Later,
