There is one big difference. If mutt crashes before saving the mail to
fcc, nobody has one. So this avoids the problem with sent mail without
any local copy.


I have a related question: When does mutt unlink attached files (with
unlink set)? Before sending, between sending and fccing or after
fccing?
