I second this. Mostly I don't explicitly bury a message buffer, it
rather gets buried by other work (me loading files, etc.). So I would
end with buried "*reply foobar*" and "*unsent reply quuxbaz*" buffers, 
the only difference being that I rememberd to do C-c C-d on quuxbaz.

OTOH, I'd like message buffers to have the same prefix (now they have
"*reply" or "*followup" and I usually can't remember which one).
Perhaps these buffers could be called "*unsent bla*" right from the
start. You can do "C-x b *unsent TAB" then to see all messages hanging 
in limbo right now.
