-  Another method is described in [this
-  mail](http://mid.gmane.org/878wbj4nfq.fsf@servo.finestructure.net)
-  (id:878wbj4nfq.fsf@servo.finestructure.net). It involves a trivial
-  python script (which should be rewritten in lisp and integrated into
-  the notmuch frontend, really) but is not difficult to setup. It will
-  deliver your sent mail directly to the "sent" folder of you local
-  maildir repository (and thus be synchronized via offlineimap with
-  your imap server).
-
-  This is the code I needed in my .emacs file to make it work with
-  the python wrapper that I called mddeliver.py:
-
-          ;; fcc handler
-          (defun maildir-deliver-region(destdir)
-            (shell-command-on-region
-              (point-min) (point-max)
-              (concat "/usr/local/bin/mddeliver.py -c -s -d " destdir)))

+  Another method is to save the file in a folder of your local
+  Maildir, usually called FCC (file carbon copy). You can achieve this
+  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 same time, use
+  the fancy command:
+
+               M-x customize-apropos<RET>\(notmuch-fcc-dirs\)\|\(message-directory\)
+
+  This method will even allow you to select different outboxes
+  depending on your selected from address, if you need that
+  functionality. Please see the documentation on the variable in the
+  customization window for how to do so.
