There's already a provision for doing this. Make sure these lines are in
the file $HOME\yarn\config on your PC:
# keep copy of sent mail in this folder
sent-mail=mailed
# keep copy of posted articles in this folder
sent-news=posted
You can change these folder names, of course.

If you delete the zipped reply packet on your PC after uploading,
you won't have to worry about duplicate uploads. When Yarn starts,
it unzips the reply packet, if it finds one, and makes the mail and/or
news reply folders available.
And if you want to automate things on your ISP's end (assuming you use
uqwk to create the SOUP packet), install a copy of OLMenu, a menu-based
front-end to uqwk:
