Yes and he replied to me off-list and I foolishly replied to him
off-list. But what he wants to do is possible. I have included my
off-list answer below:

I save/archive my outgoing mail on my local box and use gmail as an
archive for incoming mail. But you can have your cake and eat it too,
just set a tag on gmail for mail you generate (your posting addr).
Then you can copy those to your gmail 'sent' record. Iiuc gmail
doesn't use folders/directories, they just tag everything and display
it so you see it in groups.
any outbound mail not going to a mailing list that you monitor via
gmail, you can bcc to yourself at gmail.
