I would like to add the following also:

	~c +folder_name
or	~b +folder_name

This is very usefule when you are use to sending yourself a copy, rather
than using the record option.  You not only send yourself the copies of
needed letters, but also to the needed folders.  (In order this to work,
you must set the "folder" variable; and this is also documented.)
