How do I set Outlook up to copy me by default on messages I send?

[automattic]

I'm using Outlook 2003, and want to set it up so that by default all new
messages I send include a cc: to me. I'd like the copies to come to my inbox,
rather than relying on the sent messages folder.

You could probably change the default message form to have your address in
the CC box.

Or use Reply-To-All to include your address.

There are addins that will do it:

Personally, the sent items folder is perfect for this.
At the end of the day, you could drag and drop the contents of Sent Items to
your inbox (or a subfolder) if you wanted to.

Why do you not want to use the Sent Items folder? It's much more efficient
than sending yourself a copy of every message. As an alternative, create a
rule that copies every message you send to Inbox.
