Not the popular answer, I know, but I have Gnus Bcc: outgoing mail to
myself.

(setq message-required-mail-headers
      (nconc message-required-mail-headers
             (list '(Bcc . "dmaze@mit.edu"))))

Then my sorting rules pick out mail either to or from an individual, so
all of my correspondence with people that have their own mail groups can
show up as a threaded conversation in the respective group.  Duplicate
suppression deals with things like mailing lists where I'm going to get
a copy of my own mail sent back at me.  This works better for me than
having to trace a thread between two different groups depending on
whether I sent the message or not.
