That seems nice, but maybe even more accurate system could be created: It
would use these principles:

1) If message has at least one of these headers (with some content), it
   must be copied to folder sent-news-YYYY-MM:

   - Newsgroups:

2) If message has at least one of these headers (with some content), it
   must be copied to folder sent-mail-YYYY-MM:

   - To:
   - Cc:
   - Bcc:

In the other words, same message could be copied to both
sent-news-YYYY-MM and sent-mail-YYYY-MM, if it really is both Usenet
News article and E-Mail-message.

How that could be achieved? Maybe there is some hook, that is run when
C-c C-c is pressed after message-editing. Then headers of that messages
should be scanned and evaluated and folders must be chosen according to
that. Seems kind of complicated elisp-programming task.

Meanwhile, I'll take your elisp-snippet and tune it for my
Maildir-folders. Thanks!
