Well - I see the same. After a failed sending attempt there seems to be
a modified message buffer, and when exiting Gnus that buffer seems to be
saved as a new draft each time. Toggling `version-control' doesn't make
a difference.
Has anybody actually tried to reproduce??? I just used an address like
"test" and tried to send.

Doesn't look like numbered backups. Looks like normal files
corresponding to the draft copies one sees in Gnus.
Michael.
