Description

Not sure if this is still relevant - using K-9 5.600 and desperately waiting for the new release:

I have an encrypted mail stored in the draft folder of an IMAP account. Mail was created with KMail (in case that matters)

After sync'in the draft folder, I open the mail with K-9, it asks for the encryption password, draft gets decrypted, but content of the mail is gone. Not good.....

Research direction

Reproduce the problem using K-9 5.600 with an encrypted draft created in KMail and stored in an IMAP account. Start by tracing how a synced draft is decrypted and opened; done means the draft content remains available after entering the encryption password.
