drafts during ungraceful exit?

I've encountered what I think is a bug in handling drafts when emacs is
killed, but perhaps that isn't a gnus issue.

If I start up gnus, and start to send mail ('m' from *Group*), and then
emacs is killed (because it's in an xterm with -nw, and I close the
remote ssh connection), I don't find the unsent draft when restarting
gnus.

(pause to ~. the ssh connection at this point)

Then, I find no draft (in *Group*), but:

~/News/drafts/drafts > l
total 2
-rw-r--r--  1 gdt  lexort  600 Oct 19 07:40 #4#

after "mv ./#4# 4" the draft reappears.

I'm not sure how to fix; perhaps gnus should find autosave files as
drafts and offer to recover, or just rename them to a proper name if
there isn't both autosave and regular, or ?

That's what recover-session does.
