Thank you.  I found the filter rule I had created for the global Drafts 
smart mailbox in the Mailboxes.plist file (no idea why it didn't show up 
when grepping or using search utilities) and simply copied the string, 
replacing "filter" with "conditions" as you said, and now it works.  
Thanks again, I appreciate it.
