50.4 Drafts
50.4.1 Overview ¶
The Send file task can save emails as drafts instead of sending them (option “Do not send message, but only save it in the draft folder”, see chapter 17.2) - e.g. for review during the introduction phase or as an approval step. The processing log shows “Saved as draft” for such messages.
50.4.2 The drafts window ¶
When drafts exist, the Email drafts (N) button appears next to the main menu (see chapter 2.3); clicking it opens the overview window.

50.4.3 Sending and deleting ¶

- Delete checked drafts removes the checked drafts permanently.
