 Yes, but so annoying, too... Anyhow, I've improved (I hope!) the situation
slightly:

1. you're now shown a message box (pre-disabled for you so hopefully it
   won't be very annoying) explaining this behaviour

2. there is an option "automatically delete drafts" which can be set to off
   (it's on by default) if you want to keep the drafts

 Is it better?

 Yes, it is. But why not? It could be used to do a fancy (== annotated)
bounce or maybe something else. I don't know what is it useful for but I
see no reason to forbid it.

 The trouble is that there is no such thing as "the drafts folder" - each
folder can have its own drafts folder (I know I'm going to use a drafts
folder on my IMAP server for the folders on that server) and it's not
special. Maybe it should be but:

1. I'm running out of the folder flags (look at FolderType.h) :-(
2. I don't really see what will we gain

 Well, maybe we could make the UI slightly better by making a double click
in the drafts folder to open the message for editing. OTOH, maybe this
should be the default behaviour for any messages from oneself?
