No actually it is a 'parked' flag when the message is in the outbox. Maxim (and others) may call it a 'draft' flag. Even the Bat calls it a parked flag in some places. >>>> I have asked for a draft folder since I started using the bat in >>>> beta (about ver 1.3 I think) I have not said anything recently >>>> about it because it has always fallen on deaf ears. >> Yes, but why should we blindly copy feature to only accommodate >> habits of the users of these programs without deeper understanding >> of what's behind these features? There is a reason why every other email client has a draft folder, and it will not be because they are copying each other. > It is not to accommodate habits I've brought here from other programs > that I need a Draft folder.

Saved, but still needing to be worked on. (Draft) > 2) or Saved and ready to go, but I don't want to send it yet > (Outbox, parked) This is my main reason for wanting this feature. When I receive a number of email (It can be 500+ in one go) I usually hit the reply to button for the ones that need an answer and then immediately save the message as draft. After I have gone thought all my new messages I then go back to my Draft folder (yes I have creates one) and then proceed to edit all the draft messages and then hit send. I also have a number of messages that are finished but I don't want to send, these messages in different status get confused as there is no difference as far as the bat is aware. > And another reason I would find a Draft folder useful is that I > anticipate its folder properties would not over-ride my Address Book > templates. - -- Cheers, _______________________________________________ David | David Elliott | Software Engineer | _________________________| [EMAIL PROTECTED] | PGP Key ID 0x650F4534 | | "Shall I activate the Tantalus Field?"
