The "Gcc:" feature works well in gnus and does the same thing, as far
as I remember--it's in the docs, anyway.  I have this in my .gnus file
so that it works automatically:

    (setq gnus-message-archive-method
          '(nnimap "remhost"))
    (setq gnus-message-archive-group
          '((if (message-news-p)
                "mail/misc-news")
            (concat "mail/sent." (format-time-string
                               "%Y-%m" (current-time)))))
    
That way, mail I send out goes into the "mail/sent.99-10" folder on
the IMAP server, "remhost".
