Just to add my 2 cents: the MH mail system also supported this (the 
header was Fcc: <filename> but changing it to <folder> would be obvious)
and was extremely useful. One way to use it is to *not* keep copies
of trivial outgoing mail, or keep some stuff locally and the rest on
an IMAP server.

However most other mailers don't have this functionality either
as far as I can see.
