If same folder("Copies&Folders = Draft-A && Options/Send a copy to = Draft-A"), one of two old draft mails(saved by "Copies&Folders=Draft-A") is deleted upon next draft save.

At least old draft mail saved by "Copies&Folders=Draft-A" should be deleted upon next save, even when folder by "Copies&Folders" NE folder by "Options/Send a copy to". 
Question: Should draft mail be copied by "Options/Send a copy to"?

I guess that this bug's phenomenon is simply a result of same code sharing without care for difference, among "copy to sent", "save as draft", "send later", "fall back to Sent upon draft save error", "fall back to Sent upon save to unsent(outbox if Tb3) failure".

It seems to be old bug - Bug 279366. Setting Dependency to check DUP or new issue is involved.
