`C-c C-k' doesn't work after `D e'

`C-c C-k' doesn't work after `D e'

[Kai Großjohann]

In the night, my news server often acts up.  I normally abort then
type `C-c C-d' to save the posting.  The next morning, I `D e' that
posting from the drafts group, then type `C-c C-c' to post again.
Sometimes, the first posting has worked after all, so the news server
compains about a duplicate.  No problem, I think, just type `C-c C-k'
to abort this message.

But `C-c C-k' doesn't really delete the message, after a M-g it still
shows up in the drafts group.  Normally, this key works fine, but not
after a `D e'.

That's what I do, too.  But IMHO `C-c C-k' should work after `D e',
too, shouldn't it?  Is this a bug?

FWIW, if I was editing a draft and decided to abandon those changes,
wouldn't that may well to what `C-c C-k' was doing?

In other words, this sounds like a feature to me.[1]

Hm.  Hmmmm.  Maybe you have a point there.
