I do like to keep my own replies filled in the same folder as the rest
of the thread. I perform this by setting the Inbox as the Sent folder
(Edit → Preferences → Account → Defaults), and later move to the proper
folder using a manually-triggered filter.

Note however that this has the side-effect of making the Reply button to
work as Reply All on the inbox (as the inbox is at the same time the
Sent folder, and the Reply option is made to work this way there since
usually you don't want to reply to yourself).
It's not a big issue when you are aware of it, but it was hard to me to
find out what was happening.

Best regards
