Description
In K-9 there is no way to view a message in Draft folder without modifying it. It always opens in edit mode, and when exiting edit mode I get to choose between Save and Discard.
But what if I just want to view the message? I suggest that all messages always opens in view mode, regardless of which folder they are located in. That would make it possible to view a message without discarding or re-saving it, and also make message browsing in K-9 more consistent.
This feature request is somewhat similar to #2640, but not exactly.
Expected behavior
It should be able to open a message in Draft folder in View mode, without modifying (Discarding/Saving) it.
Actual behavior
A message in Draft always opens in Edit mode, and when exiting it is Discarded or Saved.
Steps to reproduce
- Open a message in Draft folder
Environment
K-9 Mail version: 5.600
