Comment (by kevin8t8):
I didn't have much time during the weekend to work on this.
It looks like I should be using mutt_write_rfc822_header() and
mutt_write_mime_body() to write out the draft file (instead of
mutt_write_fcc()) to avoid the problems mentioned in comment:5.
So far I'm having trouble finding a straight-forward way to correctly deal
with reading in a multipart draft file. If we can parse it all into the
HEADER, then it looks possible to modify (add a flag to) ci_send_message()
to "preserve" the HEADER->content constructed from the caller (right now,
it creates and prepends a new parent BODY, preserving any attachments
generated by the caller).
If any of you have a pointer to relevant code, please let me know.
Otherwise I'll spend some more time this week looking through the message
parsing code to see if anything is directly usable outside of CONTEXTs.
