Cal, This side effect was unknown to me until today. I simply assumed that saving a message in a "Draft" folder was a strictly "client-side" process and was not spawning an SMTP transaction (which explains the unwanted side effect of anyone on a user's forward list getting drafts of unsent e-mails.) Ipswitch: I realize that fixing this would probably require a major rewrite, but I think that the aforementioned side effect should at least be included in the manual and the knowledge base (preferably in red)!
