Then that's quite clear that it is a bug in Mutt. In other MUA's, when one edits a draft, the draft itself is modified (updated), until the mail is sent or the draft is discarded. That's basically the difference between a draft and file inclusion. So, I'm reassigning the bug. And that's what the --draftpath reportbug option expects, otherwise this option wouldn't exist! -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
