Indeed, that's what I understand, too. And I can only second that. In
Gnus I have around 20 folders for people I regulary correspond with
and a bit "catch all others" (plus a lot of mailing list folders).

All the personal mail folders are set to save the replies into the
folder the replied to mail is stored in. All mailinglist folders are
set to _not_ store the mail at all (as I will get it anyway).

This happens to be the only convenient way to work with my mailing
habbits, and I know a lot of people here that work the same way.
