Recent CVS. If I go to the drafts group where I have a
message I want to keep working on and hit `D e' on it,
edit it, and decide to postpone it again by hitting `C-c
C-d', when I return to the drafts group (or hit M-g), the
old message plus the new version are *both* there. Is
this intentional?

Today's CVS. If I go to the drafts group where I have a
message I want to keep working on and hit `D e' on it,
edit it, and decide to postpone it again by hitting `C-c
C-d', when I return to the drafts group (or hit M-g), the
old message plus the new version are *both* there. Is
this intentional?
Also, running `D s' on an nntp message no longer actually
sends it. A *mail* buffer is popped up, but nothing
appears in my archive group. Actual mail messages are
sent, but they aren't archived, nor is the original
removed from the drafts group.

OK, that second one was the one I really want sent. The
first was a draft that I never actually hit send on.
After playing around 5.10.6, I'm noticing the same
behavior. I guess the draft functionality has never quite
worked right. I've never noticed a problem before,
though.

Hmm, that's strange. I've been doing this kind of behavior for a
while now, but not for nntp... Let's try it now...
I think it works fine for me...

Here's how I reproduced the problem with 5.10.6 and No
Gnus (assume an empty drafts group):
* C-u a on alt.test.
* Type a short message.
* C-c C-d
* Go to drafts group, and `D e' on the draft.
* Make a slight change to the message.
* Decide to save the edited draft for later still, so do
another C-c C-d.
* M-g.
At this point, there are two messages in the drafts group.
If I `D e' on one of them, but actually C-c C-c on that
buffer, when I M-g in the drafts group, there are three.
So it seems like one iteration of compose, draft, re-edit,
send works properly, but if there's another `D e' thrown
in, it breaks. That's my observation; I could be missing
something obvious. However, I don't see why someone would
want the old drafts accumulating like that. It's too easy
to hit `J S' and spam the recipient.

I just did this a couple times in the gnus.test group...

This seems to work for me...
I'm using "No Gnus v0.3", with Emacs 21.3.50.1. (cvs build)
