What I meant was that when I run MS Outlook, I see a folder called "Sent
Items".  I'm  not certain if this is a regular IMAP folder or a special
Outlook folder.  In any event, since it contains an embedded space, gnus
cannot handle it.

I loved your suggestion for the gnus-message-archive-group value.  I modified 
it slightly so that each month's mail group is a subfolder of Outbox.  Gret
idea!

Why does gnus provide both gnus-message-archive-group and
gnus-outgoing-message-group?  Do you know what is the difference between them?
