My idea is the following:

Currently for me drafts are stored in ~/.mail/drafts.  If we have
folder: searching, then I can starting indexing my drafts directory and
apply the following post-new filter:

notmuch tag +draft -inbox -unread -- folder:drafts

I'll then make a simple elisp "resume" function that is available for
resuming draft messages, that would be available when viewing messages
From a draft search results.

One could also imagine a "notmuch-draft" emacs mode that would provide
functions specifically for viewing and resuming draft messages.

Anyway, my plan was to work on all of this when some sane way of
indexing draft messages was available (ie. folder: searching).

jamie.
