As Lionel mentioned, always encrypting to yourself is one way to do this.
That's certainly a good idea.

You said you were using mutt as your MUA.  Then you can also use a feature
of mutt to save your sent messages in the clear.  This assumes that you feel
your local machine is reasonably secure (or that you use some other method
of data protection -- like storing your mail folder on an encrypted disk
partition).  Anyway, to have mutt save your sent messages in clear text, add
this to your .muttrc file:

set fcc_clear=yes
