We consider it a security feature to encrypt all drafts for an account (if the option to encrypt drafts is enabled). Depending on how you work, you may add the recipients and/or decide whether or not the message will be encrypted only just before you send the message. But if the message is autosaved on an IMAP server you will already have leaked information by then. We therefore decided to encrypt all drafts, independently of whether or not encryption is enabled. -Patrick
