Saving an Outlook.Mailitem as a file after it has been sent (c#)

Based on this issue, I can save an Outlook.Mailitem object as a file when it is being sent:

..
using Outlook = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook;
...
public partial class MyClass: DevExpress.XtraEditors.XtraUserControl
{
    static Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MailItem mailItem;
    ...    
    public static void SendAnOutlookMail()
    {
       ...
       mailItem.Display(false);
       ((Outlook.ItemEvents_10_Event)mailItem).Send += new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.ItemEvents_10_SendEventHandler(ThisAddIn_Send);
       ...
    };

    static void ThisAddIn_Send(ref bool Cancel)
    {
       mailItem.SaveAs(@"d:\1\sent.msg");
    }
    ...
}

My only problem is that the resulting file is an email in its state just before it has been sent (when I open it, I can press the send button on it).

My question: How could I save it in the sent state?

the earliest you can access the item in its sent state and the sender information populated is in the Items.ItemAdd event handler on the Sent Items folder.
