Yes. I'm not quite sure why it has to be that way but it may be for similar
reasons as to why you can't duplicate IMAP messages by AppleScript - the
server cannot return an accurate ID of the duplicated message. However you
can still option-drag to another IMAP folder to duplicate. So make a
secondary Drafts folder - call it Drafts Copies or Template Copies or
something like that, as a subfolder of Drafts to keep it close by - and
option-drag your original draft there. Then click on the Drafts Copies
folder and there you are.
Paul- you the man. Do ~~They ~~ pay you?
And for anyone looking for an email provider, my early experience has been dynamite. You can tell the people at FastMail are users; there are so damn many nice little touches.
