Thanks a lot for your response.
The \Drafts flag has a very specific meaning in IMAP.  This patch is 
instead meant to allow any message to act as a sort of "template" 
for a future message.  Setting as a draft is not proper for this 
action.
I'm not sure whether I exactly understand your argumentation. The IMAP 
specifications says the following about the \Drafts flag:

   "Message has not completed composition (marked as a draft)."

So there is no other "very specific meaning" than "mark the message as 
a draft". I understand, though, that a different approach where any 
message in the drafts folder can be used as sort of template would be 
a better one since it would preserve the original template (instead of 
sending it away as this patch would do). However, seeing from a 
pragmatic point of view and given that Horde interpretates this flag 
correctly, I do not see any problem with this patch as a valid 
workaround for a template-like functionality.
This kind of template support is planned for IMP 5.1, but has not 
been fully implemented yet.
Great, looking forward to it.

Currently, it is not possible to mark a specific message as draft. The 
draft flag ist only set when a new message is saved as draft. However, 
in day-to-day business, it can be very useful to copy an existing 
email and be able to modify it. The attached patch marks messages that 
are copied/moved into the drafts folder as draft so that can be 
resumed and modified.
