Hmm... be sure that $save_name and $force_name are unset. Also,
check to see if you have any fcc-hooks and fcc-save-hooks
interfering with what you want.
What about the perms on the ~/Mail/sent-mail file? If it's not
writable for you, that could cause a problem. This might be
wise:
$ chmod u+w ~/Mail/sent-mail
(I am assuming mbox mailbox format.)
If $copy is set to yes, $save_name and $force_name are unset,
there are no interfering fcc-hooks, $record is set to the correct
path, and you have write permission to that file, it _should_
work, as far as I can tell! =)
I hope this helps.
