Sounds like bug 112737... not sure whether that was fixed in 0.9.8

It is the right one, but was fixed in January, and this build from February.

But it doesn't work with my 20020304 built. After reading bug 112737, it seems that this case of "Edit draft" isn't taken into consideration. So, this isn't a dup of that bug and needs to be fixed too :)

I use Ctrl+E (Edit Draft) often - and I have my account in From - not default-first_one among my multiple accounts. With the yesterday's build it also works. What account shows in From? Is it default one? Would you please check today's build?

I mark it WFM. It works fine with recent builds.

I use 20020313 but the problem is still there. However, I think I found out the cause of the problem. Actually, I don't like the idea that every account or newsgroup has its own Drafts and Sent folders. Maybe I'm so used to N3 and N4 that I still can't accept such arrangement: I like as few folders as possible (a la Outlook Express). So I configured Mozilla such that all drafts are centralised in Main Account's Drafts folder, and all sent messages are centralised in Main Account's Sent folder. So the problem can be summarised as this: Suppose we have two accounts, "Account A" and "Account B", with their respective identities as "Name A" and "Name B". Now configure "Account B" such that its Drafts folder is in "Account A". Compose a new message and change its identity to "Name B" if it isn't already. Save the message and close the compose window. Here you should be able to see that the message is in "Account A" Drafts folder with "Name B" as sender. But when you edit this draft, its identity is changed back to "Name A". So the bug is that Mozilla doesn't care about sender identity in drafts.
