But I am correct that nmh saved the file as something that I could have
overwritten later using a comp, reply or something like that?  What I was
suggesting was that, at the point where send (I think) failed, it would
be good if nmh made a super-special copy of the draft which, due to its
naming wasn't going to be overwritten.  Am I asking for the impossible?
