It's not hard to do this — I usually dump the mails into ~/.local/share/evolution/mail/local/.Drafts/new/ for example. And then I can *read* them before sending them, which is good practice anyway. Am I the only person who often finds a final minor nit with their own patch, in that final read-through just before hitting 'send' on an email? Perhaps we should provide tools which make it trivial to do the same for various different mail clients, without users having to know where, and in what form, their drafts folders are? -- dwmw2
