Email confirmation of sent message status

[sinak]

A couple of users have requested that they receive an email confirmation that their message has been sent, including the content of their message.

I would vote for this as well. It would be very nice to have a record of all the e-mails I've sent through Democracy.io, and currently I have to copy/paste things out of the form to do that. Since you have my e-mail already, sending me a confirmation with the content would hopefully not be terribly difficult (famous last words).

I can imagine that this might need to be optional (not everyone wants the confirmation), so a little checkbox indicating whether you'd like a confirmation e-mail would make sense. Personally I'd have it default to "checked", but others may disagree.

Seems to be a duplicate of #67 but being CC'd or getting a receipt would be nice.
