When using the contact form to send a message to another user, it would be nice if a copy of the sent message was sent to the sender's email address. This would allow for an easy way to archive those messages for reference.

Here is my best shot. This allows users to have a copy of their message sent to themselves. Useful for those who like to keep records of emails.

+1 for this patch.

I tested it against HEAD, and it works perfectly.

One thing I would suggest is that the option also apply to the person contact forms as well. I am not sure if this was in the original request, but I think, especially on community sites, users might like to a have a reccord of peer to peer correspondance.

Just my 2cents.

I did not test the patch, but I support the functionality.

+1 for me.

Here is a second patch, which also provides a copy checkbox in user contact forms.

The help sentence "Send a copy of this to me." sounds to me a little bad...
IMHO I would prefer had something like "Send me a copy." or "Receive a copy of the email." because I don't like very much using "this"...

Here is the same patch, using "Send me a copy.". #5 still applies, should you like "Send a copy of this to me." better.

Ready to commit :)
