That is one that is currently missing in native TB, but there has been
for a long time:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/thunderbird/addon/send-filter/

Oh... you don't like Addons - well, the good news is this feature is now
done, and will be in the next release (38) coming in the next few weeks.

Also, in TB you can define what folder to use for your Sent folder, or
tell it to save the Sent copy in the same folder as the one you are
replying to (useful if you use filters for everything)...

I'm trying to think of a way that might work that wouldn't irritate me
to no end, but no luck - how do you envision this working exactly
without getting in your way all the time? I send a lot of emails in a day.

<sigh> more FUD...

I currently have 43 Addons installed in my personal TB, and I couldn't
tell you the last time I had a problem with *any* of them, with one
occasional exception... the 'Unified Search' Addon, and that one is easy
to fix when necessary, and it is important enough to me to do so.

The fact is, as long as you research, and only install Addons from
trusted sources after making sure they work properly, you will generally
have no problems with them whatsoever.
