No. That doesn't work for me at all. I've just copied this very
snippet and rubbed out all of my own adjustments to
message-header-setup-hook. When I pressed F in order to respond to
your message, the line reporting the value of X-Draft-From is inserted
below the yanked in message of yours. Half way through I hit C-c C-d
and quit gnus. After restarting gnus I pressed e on the draft response
in the drafts buffer. This time the hook didn't output anything at
all. Wondering about it and pressing C-c C-k straight away (answering
no to the question whether to delete the backup file) made things even
worse. Trying to leave the summary buffer produced a message saying
something about changing to a deleted buffer but didn't return to the
Group buffer.
By the way, I'm using No Gnus and emacs devel (latest packages from
debian sid).
Regards,
Elias
