The reason for the To or CC (or Bcc for that matter) is that I want to use the name of the archive folder in the address fields when composing/addressing the message. That way the filing of the message becomes integral to the sending of the message rather than a separate step.

For example, if I have an archive folder named Boy Scouts, and I'm sending a message to several individuals about a Boy Scout function, by including "Boy Scouts" in one of the address blocks a copy is automatically put there when I click Send.

Quite a few years ago I was working in a client's office who used and set me up as a user of their ccMail system. This capability was inherent in ccMail back then. If it isn't available in Outlook then I suggest it for consideration in future updates of the program.
