395821 - Autosave shouldn't destroy my drafts

Status: NEW

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Karsten Düsterloh]

STR:
- edit a draft, do some changes
- wait for autosave to kick in
- do some more changes
- close mail composer
You'll be asked whether to save the draft or not.
But not saving the draft will only drop the changes after the last autosave - all other changes between opening the mail composer and the last autosave will stick!

This should not happen.

Autosave should always save to a new draft and not change my original draft. The original draft should get overwritten only if I explicitly save it.

I agree with this.
This bug happens whether you discard the draft or not. When I send my messages, it sends the message but keeps the drafts from the last update, as well, so I end up having out of date drafts in addition to a sent mail.
