You're right...I'm confusing the issue. "Sent," as defined by $record,
is indeed my dedicated "sent" mailbox. But it is itself a file to which
all of the copies of outgoing mail are appended. All of my other
mailboxes, including inbox, are directories, which are refered to in
.muttrc by "mailboxes <path to mailbox>". And all of these are read to
via Procmail. I guess I'm asking why should not "sent" be handled in
the same
manner.
