Can I auto-assign emails to the sender?
You can create an Outgoing message rule to automatically assign the sender to a conversation if it hasn't already been assigned to someone.
To do so, create a rule that triggers on outgoing emails like this one:

You probably want to add the Close action too so the conversation is not added back to the sender Inbox.
