Title:
  IMAP + Filter + Draft + gmail == apparently duplicate emails

Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.
