That does sound cleaner than the current Gnus/Message integration, which
is based inserting some text in the buffer, and then locally setting a
bunch of Message variables to disable the default action.

Hm... I'm not sure I see how that would work. The posting styles just

It sounds a bit abstract -- would it ignore nndrafts if the IMAP server
has \Drafts? (Auto-saving over nnimap isn't recommended, really.)
