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. -- aaraines@pobox.com (Andrew A. Raines)
