#82 sent drafts don't mark messages as "answered"

User X sends me a message.
I hit "reply" and start composing.
I save the reply as a draft.
I resume the draft and send it.
Original message from User X is not marked with an "A"
which would indicate that it's been answered.

By saving it as draft you do not answer it and the draft
becomes a message on it's own.
I'm not sure if we want to lookup the original message by it's
message-id and set the \Answered flag when we actualy
send the draft.
Maybe we this is something to look at in a later SM version..

Marc, what about adding an X- header such as:

X-Message-Parent-Folder: {Original Folder}
X-Message-Parent-UID: {Message UID}

Then on sending of the message, we check the folder for that
message ID, if it is there, flag it as replied, and delete
those two headers.

You also need to store the UIDVALIDITY value otherwise the
UID is meaningless.
I would prefer to use 1 single additional header for storing
all the 3 values.
X-Message-Trackback: uidvalidy #uidvalidity; uid #uid;
mailbox originalmailbox

Sure, that'd be fine... Mine was just a suggested idea to
resolve the issue. I dare say it wouldn't be too difficult
to put into place would it?

It's not difficult.
1) when composing from draft you have to extract the info
from the x-header (if present).
2) on sent, check if it concerns a draft and if that draft
is related to an original reply action. If yes, locate the
original message and flag it.

Only difficult point is how to organize compose.php without
being lost in spaghetti code ;)

I doubt that'd be too difficult at all. Their is already
code in there to delete the draft on sending, you put your
update code in the same if section to update the message on
the other side. You do it silently so if there is an error
it doesn't die completely. I'll take a look.
