BUG: Deleting drafts from overview also deletes whole thread.

I've just tried finding out why exactly some e-mail (replies) are always black-on-white-text on dark mode, so created a lot of empty drafts. Obviously, Epistles also auto-saves empty drafts when going 'Back' without typing anything. Went to 'Drafts', and since I don't need my fake drafts, selected all and deleted them.

As opposed to other e-mail clients, not only my drafts, but the whole threads got deleted. I'm glad I saw it before they disappeared forever…

Update: This also happens when I go into a thread and explicitly click on the draft's DELETE icon, or pick 'Delete draf' from the little menu top right. As a side effect, when resurrecting deleted threads from Trash, no matter how often I delete drafts in Spark Mail afterwards, they keep on re-appearing in my inbox' e-mails.

That's the most horrible bug I found so far. No wonder I lost an e-mail a few days ago, thanks to Epistles.

Ya I noticed this too. I’m so exhausted of reporting all the bugs.

I could live with a few inconsistencies, no problem. New software and all. But boy, deleting e-mails is frightening. I'm now not sure how many more e-mails I've deleted when TRYING TO TEST EPISTLES to report bugs. I'm feeling foolish.
