For reasons unbeknownst I had a draft message in Mail that resisted deletion.
If I deleted it and then closed and reopened mail the message would reappear
in the draft list. If I left it in the list it would sometimes later appear
multiple times in the draft list.

Finally, in odd desperation, I opened the draft, changed the title, and then
closed it. After that I deleted it and it now seems to have gone away as it
has not reappeared the last few times I have opened Mail.

So, any explanations?

I'm running OS X 10.6.2 and Mail Version 4.02 (1077).

No, but I had a similar circumstance (same OSX) and eventually,
somehow, it went away. I appreciate the "change title" mode of driving
it from the pack. It was also a relatively common title too if memory
serves.

Frankly I've had a bunch of odd activity out of Mail for the past few
months, five or six different curious behaviors. All relatively
benign, but it leaves me a bit uncomfortable about the integrity of
what has become a rather extensive database of email over the years.

Thank you and have a nice day.
