In earlier version of E-Mail Client i see, when i save a modified draft message 
again as draft, the old draft was deleted an it remains only the newest version 
of my draft mail.
The same behaviour was when i edit a draft message and sent it to smtp server. 
Then the entry in drafts was deleted.
Both doesn't work in thunderbird.
Is this how it should be?
For me it's a little bit confusing.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Edit a draft mail with "Edit as new ..."
2. a) modify it and save it again as draft; b) Send it to smtp server
3. look in the draft folder, where you see 2 Versions of (same) the e-mail.

Actual Results:  
In the draft are left the old or sended version of the e-mail.

Expected Results:  
I expect, that the old version or sended e-mail is deleted from this folder

If you use Edit as New, that creates a second version of the message.
To reopen a draft for additional editing before sending, just double-click the 
message (or select and press Enter).
