[MlMt] Send drafts stay in draft folder

[Henry Seiden]

Robert,

The reason they are different is simple, one is not a text based draft. MM generates that type.

Unless you externally convert the message to text and/or change your set ups to generate and use inline graphics-base messages (if possible) 100% (exclusively) in MM this will continue as an issue.

Under my current set up, I do not find a problem in this regard. And copy/paste in MM could be used as a workaround in this regard as well (as Edit as a New Message tab).

So you are down to deleting the Draft of the recomposed message. How much of a problem is that? I believe this has been true from the get-go of MM. Benny has remained true to his principles. From version 1.4 until now in V3.0 beta.

Respectfully,

Henry Seiden
