Here's part of the problem -- links to email evidently depend on
gnus-registry keys (see .gnus.registry.eld).  I don't know how gnus or
gnus-registry is looking these keys up, but it doesn't like the
formulation that gnus-registry uses to make the keys for messages in
drafts.  (I suspect gnus-registry does this to keep its
gnus-registry-split-fancy-with-parent from putting incoming mail into
drafts, but I don't know.)  

So, here are entries from .gnus.registry.eld with the corresponding
planner-mode links:

("fake+none+3" ((mtime 17069 60481 920000)) "drafts")
 [[gnus://nndraft:drafts/fake+none+3][E-Mail from ]]

("<address@hidden>" ((mtime 17061 47160 440000)) "emacs-wiki-discuss")
[[gnus://nntp:emacs-wiki-discuss/<address@hidden>][E-Mail from Sacha Chua]]

Note that the "3" in "fake+none+3" refers to the actual filename.

So, how does Gnus normally retrieve messages from drafts -- what's the
input string, and how can we build it?
