Reply not recorded in Sent Items

I'm used to O/Express and new to Outlook2003 so please bear with me if I'm asking the obvious. Whenever I reply to an email I cannot find my reply in the sent items folder. In OE a reply gets filed in sent items so where is it being filed in Outlook2003? Am I missing something glaringly obvious?

Have you enabled saving sent items? Tools>Options>E-mail Options. Check
the "Save copies of mesages in the Sent Items folder" box.

Yes I had checked "Save copies of messages in the Sent Items folder" box. Still a mystery!

I got exactly the same problem.
Messages created with the Reply or Forward button won't be saved in the sent
items folder. Even "Save copies" in "E-mail Options" is enabled.
I also assume that recipients haven't got any of my reply messages because
they never answered to my mails.
This is a very annoying and inconvenient bug that should be fixed as quick
as possible. Can't do proper business with this software!

Check your folder view settings in your sent items folder to make sure you
aren't filtering on anything.

Then perhaps they never got them? Don't know how your sent items issue would
be related to a recipient replying to something you sent....

What version of Outlook?
Note that "me too" posts aren't the best way to use usenet. Best to create a
new message with as much detail as possible to get help....
