Excuse me, but is it really necessary for the "whatnow" problem to
remove draft files when emacs exits with non-zero status?!?!?!  I
saved a draft file and then (thanks to mwm keybindings) killed my
emacs window by accident... and look!

whatnow: problems with edit--/mit/cfying/Mail/draft deleted

and that was it, no draft __anywhere__ (as ^X ^S got rid of the autosave
in /usr/tmp).  Clever software design!  Thank you!

(please cc: your response to kkkken@athena.  Thank you.)
