I've been wondering about this for some time. I have always just been manually starting gnus-draft-mode before editing a draft. I wonder how the property got lost, though. I don't think I have ever done anything to edit the properties of the draft group, and I definitely did not create it by hand. -- -johnsu01 -http://www.wjsullivan.net -GPG Key: AE8600B6
