I agree they should make that an option especially when the message is sent to 
a mailing list where one _expects_ to see the sent message listed. As we have 
often seen, and again just recently when even our moderator got caught up in 
the cathes of a momentarely not functioning ML server, the sender feels 
something when wrong along the pipeline and sends the message again once, 
twice and so on.

When using GMail SMTP while reading locally with the favourite e-mail program, 
a GMail account user should be warned about this uncommon behaviour. 
Otherwise he/she will start thinking something has gone wrong with the 
subscription. 

On the other end if the user reads the list on-line on GMail browser's 
interface he/she might never know when the message _really_ has not made it 
to the ML - even if we know nowdays that that's' unlikely to happen - and 
therefore may start thinking nobody has an answer to offer or, worse, getting 
eventually hit by the "nobody loves me but my mother" syndrome. :-D
That is because in this case, as we have checked, the sent message it will be 
correctly listed/labelled and readable on that web interface.
