Deleting drafts

Deleting drafts

[Evans Winner]

I can't figure out how to delete old drafts, so the drafts
groups doesn't always come up with articles in it.  Is there
a way to do that?

It works much (perhaps even exactly) like a mail group, so you can
delete the articles with
B <DEL>

And is there a way to map the Gnus `nndraft:drafts' folder onto
the IMAP `nnimap:INBOX.Drafts' one, so that I could easily
access my draft mails from another PC, when at home?

Best regards,

The way I do it for individual drafts is to press 'e' to edit it and then
do the C-c C-k dance which invokes message-kill-buffer - you will be
asked if you want to delete the backup too; say yes and the thing is
gone.

What's wrong with `B DEL' (gnus-summary-delete-article)?

,----

| <Delete article>.
| (gnus-summary-delete-article &optional n)
| 
| Delete the n next (mail) articles.

Bye, Reiner.

Yeah, that would be pretty nice...  And it shouldn't be that difficult
to do.  We can hook into the Message mode auto-saving stuff to save
using any method we want to.  But communicating with the IMAP server may
hang, so I'm not sure this would, in general, be the way to go.

I think it would make more sense to sync over the drafts to the IMAP
server using the forthcoming "cloud" functionality, where Gnus basically
stores everything on the IMAP server.
