Reassigning Drafts/Queue folders to an MH local seems to be very messy,
not (eaaily) templatable and confusing to users now with 2 mailbox
accounts, one IMAP, one local.
sajolida, I note your recent posts in Claws bugzilla
http://www.thewildbeast.co.uk/claws-mail/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2661
and
http://www.thewildbeast.co.uk/claws-mail/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2965
Not sure there is much impetus by Claws team to act on this, however, I
note in
http://www.webupd8.org/2014/05/claws-mail-310-released-with-auto.html
"Changes in Claws Mail 3.10:
...
Added a preference to avoid automatically drafting emails that are
to be sent encrypted (Configuration > Preferences > Compose > Writing); "
Quick tests under version *3.11.1* (in Fedora 21) show the problem to go
away (yay!) when deselecting Preferences->Writing->Automatically save
messge to Draft->Even if message is to be encrypted". This should be
templatable.
Don't know the policy on application version bumping in Tails, but it
appears that the easiest way forward may be to upgrade Claws to >3.10?

I assume BitingBird has been busy, but if there are pointers to this,
would appreciate them to help out in more depth.
Cheers!
