Doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but neither did the error to begin with. I had a three-pane thing going on, and I recently got rid of it because it was such a pain to manually move point to the composition buffer when replying to messages. After I went back to the default, my draft strangeness went away. Editing a draft multiple times still creates multiple editing buffers for that message, but maybe that's normal. It also cleared up another, equally weird problem: my mairix search results folder was appearing in random places in the filesystem. My org directory, recent directories I'd been working in, other places gnus had no business knowing about=E2=80=A6 My eventual sense was that my last 'pwd' location before switching to gnus was somehow hanging around and getting substituted for gnus' base directory. This is mostly useless as a bug report, I know, but I can't help mentioning it. It's all very magical, but that's why I love emacs/gnus=E2=80=A6 Eric
