> Now with immutable messages, all my laptop MUA can see is that the draft has been deleted from the server, but this might just mean there's a newer version of the draft. I can see the newer draft but can't know for sure it's an update to the one I have open or not. So I can either resave the draft that's open (which could cause a duplicate old draft to "reappear" in the Drafts mailbox), or I can just delete it and hope for the best (and the user can reopen the new draft if they still hadn't finished sending).

I can see where this can happen if the client hasn't synchronized with the server, or if the message has been modified on the client before the sync happened, but in the normal case where the client is up to date, shouldn't the old version of the draft be gone from the list of drafts, and the new one present?   It's not like the _user_ is going to look at the message ID.

I suppose that if the old draft were present in a viewer, the user would see the weird behavior of the viewer disappearing, and they'd have to go click on the message again, so it would be good to have a way to discover the message that replaced it and open that one when removing the old one from the viewer.   And of course the MUA would have to notice that the old draft is no longer marked as in the draft folder, and possibly is marked as in the trash folder, and know to take some action because of that.
