Actually, gmail's smtp server (perhaps uniquely among MTAs) does write
messages that it receives into your Sent folder; it can do this
because to submit mail there you must authenticate with your user
name.

But, this is obviously pretty useful anyhow for folks who'd rather
edit the message in their regular mail editor (eg gmail) before
sending it.

Could I persuade you to change this from +junk in to a new project
bzr-send-imap so it's more reachable, and link it from that wiki page
and the plugin list?
