It could be a nice feature to toggle visibility of drafts (and other
excluded messages) in notmuch-show mode. So far nobody wrote such a
thing.
Two things you might find useful to know:
- you can resume editing a previous draft with 'e'
- autosaving does not create drafts
If it really bugs you, you could override the binding C-x C-s in
notmuch-show mode.
