Hi Tassilo and Ruben,

Thanks for your help.

Here's what I now have in my .gnus:

#+BEGIN_SRC elisp
;; Add Bcc header to the message buffer
;; The Bcc header is needed to ensure that I always get a copy of the message.
;; This copy will not trigger the sentmail filter as the Bcc: header is not
;; present in the received mail.
;; Adding the Gcc: header does trigger the filter.
(setq message-default-mail-headers
      "Bcc: myname+sentmail@gmail.com\nGcc: sentmail\n")

;; Add Gcc header to attach the label of the 'originating' folder
(setq gnus-parameters
      '(
        (".*"
          (gcc-self . t)
          )))
#+END_SRC

It achieves what I want.

With kind regards


Guido
