  get the following line into the header:

Gcc: nnimap+<IMAP-SERVER>:"Sent Items"

  this is done automatically when you use the following
  variables: 

(setq gnus-message-archive-method
      '(nnimap "IMAP-SERVER"))

(setq gnus-message-archive-group
      '((if (message-news-p)
            "sent-news"
          "\"Sent Items\"")))

  I use the top level folder _sent-news_ for news and _Sent
  Items_ for the usual stuff.  you can easily do more
  interesting stuff.
