[MlMt] Gmail, self-BCC, and the inbox

[Shoshanna Green]

But if I set up a smart inbox that includes messages with Gmail's Sent label, then every email I've ever sent will be visible in it. I don't want that; I just want the emails I send to land in my inbox for me to note and file as appropriate, like other incoming mail.

I don't want to have to flip back and forth to see both halves of a conversation -- and I dislike "conversation view." I just want to see individual messages, in order.)
