I'm having fun exchanging ghost letters, wherein each of us is a fictional person in the year 1864. In order to stay in character I really have to know what I've written, so I go to the trouble of scanning all my outbound letters, and checking them as the plot unfolds in new letters Otherwise I'd have no chance of weaving anything near a reasonable story line.
In regular mail I use MIGO's device of a notebook with bullets and dates.
But my Irish pen pal scans every letter, and was able to resend when one of his "originals" was stolen by the mail goblins.

I never make copies. I guess I might tell someone the same thing more than once. I don't make copies of conversations I have with my friends and I guess sometimes I tell them the same thing more than once. Hey ho!

I scan a copy of each incoming and outgoing letter. Makes it easy to reference an older letter, and hopefully not repeat myself too much

I scan most of my overseas letters because I've had a few very frustrating cases of long letters that went lost, nothing that I could reproduce within an hour or two. So if a letter disappears, I can still send the scan. I've got an inexpensive Canon scan-copy-print device; it takes me less than a minute to scan a few pages.
I recently read Oliver Sacks' autobiography 'On the Move'. He seems to have copied all the letters he wrote during his life, because he refers to them several times.

I have a little notebook where I write down the topics I talked about in my letters, so that I don't repeat myself.

nope,I have no doubt I repeat myself in letters much as I do in real life. It happens.
