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.) -- Russ Allbery (rra@stanford.edu)
