What were you trying to do?

I'm using mh-rmail.

What's wrong:


I send a letter to someone.  Then, a little later, I try to send a
letter to someone else, and I get these messages:

} Draft "/afs/athena.mit.edu/user/d/r/dryfoo/Mail/draft" exists (868 bytes).
} Disposition? 
} 
} send: unable to rename /afs/athena.mit.edu/user/d/r/dryfoo/Mail/draft to
} /afs/athena.mit.edu/user/d/r/dryfoo/Mail/#draft: No such file or
} directory

Indicating I suppose that my 1st message was never sent.  If I try to
resend the 1st message, it still doesn't get renamed properly to
~/Mail/#draft so that the _new_ ~/Mail/draft can take its place.

This happens occasionally, and it's happening a lot today.

What should have happened:

Message #1 should have been sent, and ~/Mail/draft should have been
renamed ~/Mail/#draft so that I could start composing a new message.
