discern draft from sent independently of location?
When you move a draft in a folder, it's not considered a draft anymore (you can't edit it) and when, on the opposite, you move an already sent email into the draft folder, it is treated as an editable draft.
If I'm not sure whether I moved an email in or out of the draft folder, is there any way to tell whether it's been sent or not?

drafts and sent mail are really only identified by their location. There may be some information in the message header, but as I have never moved drafts to other folders and vise versa I have no idea if headers are preserved or lost or modified. Why would you do such a thing? I find it almost unbeleivable
hehe, yeah I'm not sure how it happened but it was definitely not intended. That said, it doesn't seem so hard to believe that one could for example want to move an email from a specific folder back to the "Sent" folder and be off by a few pixels when releasing the mouse, which would be enough to put it in Drafts, and not notice it immediately.

Well drafts appear to have an X-Mozilla-Draft-Info: header
Things from my sent folder have no received: headers. So I suppose you can work it out. It is just not easy.
oh you're right! a simple Ctrl+F for "draft" in the source gives it away. Thanks
