I agree with this.  While true that you may not end up saving the  
message in the sent-mail folder, without auto-creating it won't even  
be available in the drop-down list.  I don't see the harm in  
pre-creating the folder.  If identified as the sent-mail folder in the  
prefs, it is eventually going to be created anyway.
