Description

When replying to a message save the sent message in the same folder as the message that was replied to. Same for forwarded messages.
This should be optional and off by default.

For an attempt at an implementation, see PR #1385.

Research direction

Start by reviewing PR #1385, which contains an attempted implementation of saving replies and forwards with their original message. Confirm how the option should be exposed and verify that it is off by default, applies to both reply and forward actions, and saves the sent message in the original folder.
