unfortunately i don't remember the details anymore.

i suspect what happened was something like this: i configured
gmail/IMAP as the "backend" for gnus, and the local draft folder got
linked to the gmail/IMAP draft folder.

keep in mind that i'm not an expert in gnus. i was in the process of
evaluating whether to move my emailing over to emacs when this
happened.
