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.
