Likewise occasionally with Google IMAP and Mail in Leopard. I just

If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.

That behavior might be a result of Mail.app doing an automatic save
while you were composing the email. Belt and suspenders, thingie.

That would be (probably) a bug, in that occasionally
something makes the temporary draft become permanent.

Yes, it's a bug. The draft appears to be deleted when the message is
sent but it comes back on the next refresh. It happens even with Snow
Leopard Server hosting IMAP.
