Thank you in advance. :)
Have you compacted folder? With mbox being individual messages
concatenated into 1 text file when a file is "deleted" it is not removed
but a header flag 'deleted' is set. It is not until the folder is
compacted where the whole file is rebuild skipping the 'deleted'
messages. So every time you have a new draft and the old draft is
'removed' it is still there until the Drafts file is rebuilt.
Just mussing!!
Jonathan, what you typed above is correct, as far as I know, but it got
me thinking .....
When we receive e-mails which we then send to the Trash folder, those
e-mails, as far as I know, are still in the Inbox mbox file, but as you
typed, a bit in the header is set to indicate that they have been
Trashed so they don't show in the Inbox display. They are then actually
removed when the Inbox is Compacted.
Is it possible that a Draft message has a similar relationship with the
Sent folder, ... i.e. the Draft message is actually stored in the Sent
mbox file with some header bit set to indicate it is really a Draft
message, not a message that has been Sent?
Devs??
