[Bug 1036306] [NEW] IMAP + Filter + Draft + gmail == apparently duplicate emails

[Ansible]

Public bug reported:

I use thunderbird with gmail accounts.

I also have a filter set up in thunderbird to move emails with

"to" "contains" <mailing list>

to a folder, <mailing list folder>.

The problem comes in when I'm creating a new email to send to the email
list.  For whatever reason, multiple emails are created in the 'drafts'
folder during edit of the new email.  The filter dutifully copies each
draft into the <mailing list folder>.

When I finish my new email and click Send, it appears that not only my
original message, but also a number of drafts have all been sent to the
list - rather unsettling.  In reality only the final message was sent,
but when I click on <mailing list folder> all my drafts are there.

I guess the solution here would be to not filter emails that are in the
drafts folder.
