Hi Gary,

Yes.  Have a look at the docs.

,----[ (info "(gnus)Archived Messages") ]
| Gnus provides a few different methods for storing the mail and news you

| store the messages.

Another related topic is the `gcc-self' group parameter.  I use it in
such a way that in all my IMAP mail groups (except for mailing list
groups), mails I write automatically end up in the group I wrote from.
For mailing list groups, I've set gcc-self to something like
"nnimap+Account:Sent", so that my mails are stored in that account's
sent mail folder.

,----[ (info "(gnus)Group Parameters") ]
| `gcc-self'
|      If `(gcc-self . t)' is present in the group parameter list, newly
|      composed messages will be `Gcc''d to the current group.  If
|      `(gcc-self . none)' is present, no `Gcc:' header will be
|      generated, if `(gcc-self . "string")' is present, this string will
|      be inserted literally as a `gcc' header.  This parameter takes
|      precedence over any default `Gcc' rules as described later (*note
|      Archived Messages::), with the exception for messages to resend.
| 
|      *Caveat*: Adding `(gcc-self . t)' to the parameter list of `nntp'
|      groups (or the like) isn't valid.  An `nntp' server doesn't accept
|      articles.
