I also get this occasionally.  Although in my case, the
draft usually IS removed.  I even tried running a shell
script that calls vi, then calls "exit 0", but I was still
getting the problem (???).

I was going to hack the whatnowsbr.c file, but someone
mentioned that this would be fixed in the next relase
(6.7.2?).  My patience ran out, so I hacked away.  It's no
big deal, I just ifdef'd out the part that removes the file.

If you're interested, I could send you the diffs (trivial).

Sean.

    Repl and Forw have started doing this intermittently, and boy, nothing
    undermines the faith in a user community faster than mail programs
    that don't work.  So the message is a bit more dour than is needed,
    because the draft is still usually there, but WHAT'S HAPPENING????
    
    It was working just fine until a few weeks ago.  Anyone else seen this
    happen???
