Option to get notified by email when you send a message

Title:
Option to get notified by email when you send a message

Area:
inbox

Summary:
Add an option to get email notifications of PMs you send.

Description:
It's possible to get email notifications both for when someone replies to your comment, and when you comment somewhere. You can get email notifications for someone sending you a PM, and PMs you send appear in the sent box in your inbox online, but there's no option to get emailed a copy when you send a PM. I'd find it useful, as I prefer to keep copies of all notifications in my email and clear out the entire inbox regularly.

As long as it's opt-in--I don't want more emails than I already get, but it's fine with me if you do.

I would vastly prefer to decouple the Inbox/Message Center and email entirely, which doesn't really preclude your suggestion (and may facilitate it). I'm vastly irritated with the current system where SOME things are sent to my Inbox, EVERYTHING is sent to my email, but I can't have something sent JUST to my email and not my Inbox (which is much harder to organize).

I voted "implemented as is" until I read this comment, and've now changed my vote to "implemented with changes" because I agree with this comment most emphatically.
