Ah, yes, I like how Gmail handles this. Any email is usually shown in 
context, even if that context isn't technically available in the email box 
you're in (eg if somebody replies to a mail you send, it show your mail to. 
This is something I miss in KMail - I don't want to have all mails I send in 
my inbox but at least those where replies to it end up there. Mailing lists 
kind'a naturally do this, inbox doesn't.
