I use IMAP to connect to a mail server. I send and receive mail. I drag those
messages into a local folder, or I set preferences to save to the local folder.
When I click on a message copy in the local folder, a gray bar appears over
the text of the message that says "This is a draft message." with an "Edit"
button on the right. I can then click "Edit" and it pops up a message creation
window to edit the message. Even messages that are from someone else, to me.
Doesn't make sense. These messages have already been sent or received. They
should have full header information after copying them to the local folder. It
seems like Icedove should be able to read that and tell that these are not
draft messages, that only a right-click and "Edit as new message" would be an
appropriate option.
This brings up another major question... how do I access the header information
of the saved messages? If I sent and received a message through an IMAP
server, I should be able to save a copy of that message in a local folder with
all the header information from the server. Huh? It seems like that defeats
the purpose of archiving, if I don't have the ability to archive all the
headers. I will file another bug report about that.
Thanks.
Mark
