Description
Had started to write a reply to an email and wanted to find a link to paste in, so I pressed the home dot/button. Then when I returned to K-9 Mail, something flashed on the screen and then the original message 📮 reappeared.
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Open an email that someone sent to you only.
- Press the reply icon & then Reply all
- Write your message 📮 📬 📫 📤.
- Think of some link you want to include & hit the home 🏡 dot at the far bottom of your screen.
- Return to K-9 Mail.
Expected behavior
It's pretty obvious what the expected behavior is, to still have the email there that you've started writing.
Environment (please complete the following information):
- K-9 Mail version: 5.801
- Android version: 10
- Device: LG G7
- Account type: several IMAP's

Research direction
Start by reproducing the flow in K-9 Mail on Android: open an email, choose Reply all, write text, leave with the home button, and return to the app. Investigate the reply composer across this background-and-return sequence; done means the in-progress reply remains visible instead of the original message reappearing.
