Some reference mat'l included in the mutt package:
/usr/share/doc/packages/mutt/index.html
/usr/share/doc/packages/mutt/intro.html
/usr/share/doc/packages/mutt/manual.html
/usr/share/doc/packages/mutt/manual.txt

also the fine "man" files:
  mutt ( 1 and 5 )
  muttrc

in your ~/.muttrc "set record" points to the directory/file where copies
of your outgoing mail is stored.

also "set copy=yes" tells mutt that you *do* wish to retain copies of
outgoing mail.
