Usually that is something done by the mail user agent (in Harry's
case, apparently some feature of Gnus), not by the mail transport
agent nor the mail delivery agent.
I could set Elm and mailx to save copies of all my outgoing mail
that I use them to dispatch. Neither procmail nor sendmail would
be involved.

Not sure; probably you've already solved your problem: but couldn't
you simply cc: to yourself? Of course your sendmail would have to be
set up sanely so local mail doesn't go out to the ISP.
