[MlMt] Advice for new user

[Robert Goldman]

I have always kept my correspondence about projects in different 
folders.  These folders include both the messages I have received on the 
topic and also the messages I have sent.  When I used Thunderbird, I 
used to BCC myself and save the messages by hand.  With MailMate, the 
messages go into the Sent Messages folder, and from there I would have 
to process them by hand, which seems undesirable.  What do other users 
do?

One possibility, I suppose, would be to tag the messages with the 
folders I'd like them to go to, and then have rules for the Sent 
Messages folder that moves the tagged messages to their final 
destinations.  This would work, but seems like it's going to be 
cumbersome.  I have a handful of projects and a handful of other topics 
all current at the same time, so this would involve a fair amount of 
drudgery to make the tasks and write the rules.  This may be the best I 
can do.  What I'd like, in my dream world, would be something like a 
higher-order tag.  Something like
```
\SaveTo(Project1)
```
where one could write a single rule to use the tag's argument 
(`Project1` here) as the destination folder.

Thanks for any suggestions,
