how do i get mail(x) to save replies to netnews articles

[Jon H. LaBadie]

On a SVR2 system, I've installed smail 2.5, and netnews 2.11.
Using mail (aliased to mailx via ksh), and setting the mailx
options in ".mailrc", I am able to save copies of my outgoing
mail: a feature I greatly appreciate!

The problem comes when I try to reply to a netnews article
by mailing to the author directly rather than posting a new
article, i.e., using the "r" command in vnews.  Unfortunately,
these mailings are not saved.

Any suggestions on how to automatically save outgoing mail
sent from within vnews?
