Steps to reproduce:

Hello! I'm running Thunderbird 52.7.0 on Debian Stretch.

Steps to reproduce the issue:
1. In Edit > Preferences > Composition check "Auto Save every x minutes"
2. Click "Reply" on any email to open the message composition window
3. Type something then wait for x minutes to auto save the email
4. Repeat step 3 couple of times
5. Finally send the email
6. Now click "All Mail" Gmail folder

Relevant Thunderbird configuration:
1. Server Settings > When I delete a message > Move it to this folder > Trash on [e-mail]
2. Copies and Folders > Drafts and Templates > Keep draft messages in > Other > Drafts on [e-mail]


Actual results:

I could see all my saved emails in the replying thread along with the final sent email.

I'm not sure if this matters but one visible difference to note is that while viewing the auto-saved draft email, a small green triangle is displayed after the "From" label and before the Sender Name. There is no green triangle while viewing the final sent email. Please see the attachment.


Expected results:

There should have been no saved emails but just the final sent email only.
