Short answer, no.

But note that pan doesn't handle mail directly, but rather, hands it off 
to your standard mail client, using the mailto: protocol as handled by 
your desktop.  You can set which desktop (kde, gnome, mswormos, osx, or 
direct custom command) in preferences, so it knows how to communicate with 
it.  Your mail client may then save it as it sends it, if that's what it 
does normally.

I actually use that fact to save posts, when I want to save them, by 
replying to them, deleting the newsgroups line and sticking something 
(anything) in the mailto line.  That triggers it to invoke the mailer, and 
I save it to a mail folder from there.

You could use the same technique to save posts you send.  Simply get in 
the habit of sticking something in the mailto line, so it invokes your 
mail client, and then use your mail client to save it off somewhere (in at 
least mine, kmail, I don't have to actually send it to save it, so I 
simply save it without sending).
