The Emacs interface to notmuch will automatically add an `Fcc`
header to your outgoing mail so that any messages you send will also
be saved in your mail store. You can control where this copy of the
-message is saved by setting the variables `message-directory` (which
-defines a base directory) and `notmuch-fcc-dirs` which defines the
-subdirectory relative to `message-directory` in which to save the
-mail. Enter a directory (without the maildir `/cur` ending which
-will be appended automatically). To customize both variables at the
