saving drafts

[Marcelo Toledo]

Today I subscribed to a mailing list that uses mailman, soon, I recieved
a mail, all I needed to do is reply to be fully subscribed. So I opened
the message to read and clicked R to reply, and then C-x C-s to save it
in my drafts so I could send it later. Here we get the problem. The
message didn't get stored in drafts because I haven't made any
modification. But in this case I don't need to make modifications to
save it in my drafts, all I need to do is to keep the subject, and with
R it is preserved. I think this could be changed. Anyone agree?

`C-x C-s' is not intended to save to drafts (well, it does it as a
side effect).  You should use `C-c C-d' (message-dont-send):

,----[ `C-h k C-c C-d' ]
| C-c C-d runs the command message-dont-send
|    which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `message'.
| (message-dont-send)
| 
| Don't send the message you have been editing.
| Instead, just auto-save the buffer and then bury it.

Bye, Reiner.

Would C-c C-d have stored the message in the drafts properly?
