Automatically copy myself

Does anybody know of a setting anywhere where I can automatically have
Outlook bcc to myself whenever I write a new email, or reply?

I can't find such a setting. I have Outlook 2003 and like the new Arranged
by Conversation for my inbox. I would like my own emails in the threads
without me having to manually type my address in bcc, which I usually forget
to do. Suppose I can write a macro if necessary, but want to make sure I'm
not missing something much simpler. Seems like it should be a common
request.

Thanks.

I don't have OL2003 (no bang for the buck [and learning time] for me).
Does this threading only work within a particular folder, or does it
span folders? If it is only for threading of messages within a folder,
why not use a "Check after sending" rule to put a copy of your message
in the appropriate folder so it becomes part of the thread?
 
That's an excellent idea. I should have thought of it, but I generally
think of rules in terms of what I'm receiving. I'll change my mindset.

Regarding Office 2003, I wouldn't fork over the bucks either, but my company
does so what the heck. And, it does have a lot of cool new features.

Thanks.
