I use emacs 19.34.1. The first thing I did was to try out the drafts mechanism. I composed a mail message, hit `C-x s', then killed the *reply to ...* buffer with `C-c C-k'. The draft appeared in my nndraft:drafts group, and I could view the contents of the draft as I view any other article. Next what I did was `D e' followed by `C-c C-k'. After this I couldn't do either `D e' or `D s'. They gave an error, and here's a backtrace: Signaling: (error "Couldn't restore the article") signal(error ("Couldn't restore the article")) error("Couldn't restore the article") gnus-draft-setup(2 "nndraft:drafts") gnus-draft-edit-message() call-interactively(gnus-draft-edit-message) The backtrace for `D s' is similar. After this the draft entry in the cache's active file got mixed up. (It took me a long time to figure out that the information on the draft group was stored in the cache's active file. Is there some logic here I'm missing?) I can start from scratch and this problem is repeatable. If I do `D s' without doing `D e' `C-c C-k' beforehand, the message gets sent properly. But I'm imagining a scenario where I compose a message, save it to think a bit, start doing more editing, save it to ponder some more, and then try to do the final editing. Any idea what's up?
