Sending mail messages in Outlook... not saved to SENT ITEMS folder

B

An interesting little bug:

If you take the checkmark out of SAVE COPIES OF MESSAGES IN SENT ITEMS
FOLDER, sending a mail message from within Outlook works as advertised.
However if you prepare a new mail message from Windows Explorer (FILE>SEND
TO> MAIL RECIPIENT) or within another MS Office application (FILE>SEND TO>
MAIL RECIPIENT AS ATTACHMENT), after sending a copy is placed in the SENT
ITEMS folder.

Indeed, one can click the Options button in Outlook 2003 and remove that
checkmark individually, but this item is rather perplexing. One would think
that the registry key under
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Preferences\SaveSent would set
this no matter what method of access is used to create a new mail message.
Not the case.
