C-x C-f above was a typo  .. should have said C-x C-s

You may notice the very first line `I didn' put there'
That is, no C-x s was run unless that is run transparently at some
point.

The behavior I describe above is new.  Since maybe a few week.

It was never saved to disk.  Only auto saving occured as detailed in
the message.  Not sure where you are getting the idea something has
been saved.  Maybe you misread C-x b, or maybe my typo threw you off.

I'm saying this message was never overtly saved in any way.

Only insofar as gnus keeps a running copy in drafts and auto saving
occuring. 

So start a composition... leave it with C-x b (switch buffers)
Come back later and maybe continue the composition.  Finally with no
overt save taking place C-x k (kill the buffer).

That message should not show up in drafts..... at least it didn't used to.
