I'm also having trouble with this part of the system.  The autosave files
don't seem to ever show up in Drafts, using Gnus 5.8.7 and XEmacs
21.1.12.  I have to explicitly save at least once with C-x C-s, or there's
no trace of the message when XEmacs crashes.

(Once I explicitly save once, that saved draft does seem to get any
autosave updates; in other words, I don't have to continously save again
as the message changes.  This makes me think that it's not a problem with
autosave but instead somehow a problem with the way that Gnus assigns a
save file to autosave.)
