If I take longer than 5 minutes to compose an email, then the current version gets saved to Drafts every 5 minutes or so (eg this morning: 11:39, 11:44, 11:49, 11:51, ...) Even if the completed email is eventually Sent, the preliminary sequence of drafts remains in Drafts. Only emails taking less than 5 minutes to compose leave no trail.
Of course, un-Sent emails are rather usefully saved to Drafts, though it would be more convenient if one version only, the final one, was saved.
This did not seem to happen before 5th Sept, but I cannot remember what happened to trigger it. Have I accidentally hit a switch, or did it happen with a recent update? Is it a bug or is it an annoyingly nanny-type feature?

If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
and the bus is interrupted as a very last resort,
and the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,
then the socket packet pocket has an error to report
When I am Offline, it saves all unsent messages to draft, and when I go online and send the messages, they are automatically moved from Draft to Sent. Maybe you have that setting mucked up.
Don't be an uberPr∅. They are stinky.
Strange. I have a similar feature, but one that seems to work more logically than yours as described. Messages composed and completed when offline are saved to Unsent, and when a connection is made the messages are sent, and their record moved from Unsent to Sent.
