This is precisely it. I had never run into this glitch because when I
edit a draft, I close it, click to save, and then send the message. For
whatever reason, I just have never followed the other sequence which

Michael,
I am happy someone brought up something that affected me everyday - the
editing of outgoing messages is indeed, odd. I think whether it affects
you or not is how you work with email. I usually have five or six
messages going at the same time in various states of editing. I hit

If Barbara has a point in that it's expected to work like what I
described and I could understand her point, then it would not have been a bug.

You took "I expect it to behave this way" as meaning "it is not a bug."?
As some kind of affront or something? I didn't see it at all that way.
Like I said, we may just use the software differently and never came
across this inconsistency. Po-tay-to, po-tah-to,to-may-to, to-mah-to: bug

I really am. If someone says "yes, it could work differently, but I
don't regard this a big problem" then that would have been very different
from saying "I expect it to behave this way".
That means "this is not

Please, explain the rationale behind having PM behave in 2 contradictory
ways? If there is something coherent with the current state of this
issue, it would be most interesting to hear. So far no-one seem to be

Why would one have to explicitly save if you press the send button in the
message?
Does it work so usual

Barbara,
You have a point, but then there should be a 'save' or 'not save'
dialog. The unedited version should not just fly out there into the
ether without you knowing your edits were not included.

Michael,
I have noticed this, too, and was surprised the edits didn't "hold." In
fact, I was terribly embarrassed by this before I realized this was a
problem when work emails went out without my edits. I have really
watched it like a hawk since then.
I agree that not automatically updating the

Make a new message
Save it
Open again for editing
Write your edits
In the out box, mark the message as waiting
realize you made a mistake and go to the still open edited message
