Copy to Self When Forwarding

I am using Version 3.12(c) and send a copy to self as a default.
Pegasus, however, does not copy to self when I forward a message and I
would like to have a record of my forwarded messages. Is that
possible?

Not to my knowledge. I used v3.12c for a long time and can't remember
of such behavior. Maybe you should check if a copyself rule may be
interfering. BTW, is copyself set as default or you use one of those
interactive copyself options?

I questioned this behaviour on the Pmail Forums. It seems that the
"copy-to-self" action is only performed by the message editor, so if
you forward a message without editing it, no copy is made.

If you also ways want a local copy, then you must check the "edit or
change before forwarding" radio button in the window that comes up to
receive the forwarding address.

This is called a "bounce". No copy is made because you did nothing to
the original message. As happens with a snail mail delivered to you
in error (e.g. belonging to other). Should you keep a copy? No
(though MS thinks you should). You just put the right address and
return it to postman.

This one is copied because you did something. You added a note, a
document, you name it. So, a copy should be kept.

One of the Pegasus Mail most noticeable quality is the logical way it
treats messages.

It was 5 Aug 2008, when DavidB commented:

I use Peg 4.x along with Mercury, and haven't used the regular "copyself"
functionality in years. That said, I have had a local copyself email
address set in Mercury as an alias, and in Pegasus as a default BCC
address.

Any email I send from Pegasus is BCC'd to the copy-self address, then sent
through Mercury, which catches emails to that address and forwards it back
to my regular account. Then Pegasus filters emails to that alias into the
Copyself folder. Or I used to do that, don't think I currently have that
set up.

The nice thing with Peg and Merc, you could also have an archival address
under Mercury where all outbound mail (and inbound?) is also copied to
that address. Can eat up HD space in a hurry, though, especially
archiving inbound, too.
