Is there a way to avoid having this draft left behind? This happens to me too, but it is a gnus/message-mode thing, outorg itself does nothing to create this drafts. It has its own backup system, you can use C-x C-s in the *outorg-edit-buffer* to save it explicitly (to a file in an automatically created directory like e.g. '/tmp/outorg-295tTO'), and via kill-buffer-hook it is saved anyway at exit, even if killed accidentally, so you never loose the edited content in the *outorg-edit-buffer*: ,----[ C-h v kill-buffer-hook RET ] | kill-buffer-hook is a variable defined in `files.el'.

Maybe start the subject with ,---- | Subject: [outorg] edition of mails and drafts `---- so I don't miss it. Another option would be to start an issue on github, but the Org mailing list is much more convenient for me. -- cheers, Thorsten
