Bug Description

Binary package hint: thunderbird

When tagging a draft, and then editing it and saving it again as a draft the tags are lost. This applies also to star markings and priority settings. Also the identity is not maintained if the draft is stored in an imap folder and edited on a different profile, even if said identity is registered. I expect that editing a draft will change only the parts of the draft that I actually touch and leave the headers alone.

Do you still see this with version 2.0.0.18 from Harrdy repos or Intrepid repos? the same version should be in both.
