AFAIK, this is what is supposed to happen (and does, in my experience). Nothing in nmh deletes the draft; as Ralph pointed out, it always renames the draft, so 42 becomes ,42, no matter what your rmmproc does. If send fails, 42 is left around and the next time you run repl/comp, you should get 43. So I'm really at a loss as to what happened here. It would be interesting to make sure that in your drafts folder there exist a bunch of old messages with backup prefix. --Ken _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list Nmh-workers@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
