Hi Adam! Trust all is well with you.

Do you know if there a way to auto archive messages sent via API? Or if not, could such an option be added to the API @codinghorror?

We are getting alot of these API generated messages and we only need to see them when they are replied to, which would put them back in the inbox. For now we are manually selecting all and archiving them. It would be nice to skip that manual step.
