Simply hit "Save" in BBEdit.

That how it works for me now, don't think I have made any special 
settings to make it so..

Search the help for "Hidden preferences". A lot of interesting stuff 
here.

"MmReplyWroteString" setting will allow you to configure the attribution 
line.

Hidden preferences "MmMoveSentRepliesToMailboxOfRepliedMessage"

But I suggest you stop moving mails completely. I used to have long list 
of rules moving mails around in the bad old days.

With IMAP and MailMate everything arrives in the Inbox where I process 
them. I have set up my own key bindings so “i” will select the 
inbox, “a” will archive mail, “d” will delete them, “f” flag 
them and “r” for making a reply. This takes care of most of my mail 
interaction and leve the Inbox empty.

I then use smart folders to make lists of all mail with a customer, 
projects etc. The smart folders are *really* smart and are together with 
the custom keybinding MailsMates killer feature for me.
