[imp] Edit as New - clarification reg.

[Michael M Slusarz]

Quoting ANANT S ATHAVALE <asa at isac.gov.in>:

> 1. In new version (which I am testing), any mail which is in draft  
> folder when resumed and sent, gets deleted from Drafts folder.  I

This is the proper behavior.

> 2. I have some mails which I have stored in Drafts folder, which I

Drafts != Templates.  There is an open ticket (or at least it is on my  
TODO list) to implement a Templates mailbox instead - this will  
replace the current templates preferences.

Edit as new will *not* copy the To, CC, Bcc, and Subject.  This is  
intended behavior.

> 3. In H3, auto draft save was there only for dynamic mode.  Is this  
> true for H4 also?

This is the kind of thing you should look at docs/CHANGES for.  Sure  
enough, for v5.0-ALPHA1:

[mms] Add auto-save draft to IMP (Request #7656).
