           Summary: Untainted drafts & outbox messages get lost when
                    closing the composer
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.7
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: composer
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: pancho at kriko.org


Version:           4.7 (using KDE 4.7.3) 
OS:                Linux

When closing the composer, I'm usually asked whether I want to save the message
as a draft, unless the new message was left untainted.

However, this concept doesn't work out well with drafts and outbox messages.
Here, the question whether the message has been tainted in the composer, is
simply no good criterion.
Often enough, one just takes a look at the draft. Now if then the composer
window is closed without any change, the draft simply disappears into the
abyss, instead of being kept unchanged.

Also the options in the dialog box are irritating for already existing drafts
and outbox messages. IMHO, the question should not be "Save as draft" vs.
"Discard", but rather "Save" vs. "Discard changes".

Reproducible: Always
