[DM-MUG] ack! Don't "rebuild" the Drafts folder

If you want to preserve the "Last Saved" setting on draft email, like when you need to remember when you started a draft, DO NOT use the 'rebuild' menu item in Mail.app when the Drafts folder is selected. It grabs a bunch of messages and resets them. I can't figure out what its selection criteria was, but not all of them were reset, just  a dozen or so, and I hadn't shift-clicked a bunch or anything.

I wasn't able to move all my mail to my .Mac account by dragging and dropping messages or folders of messages. I kept getting 'cannot move, message contains NUL character' errors on various messages. I don't know what that means. I've moved the same messages to .Mac and back without errors when using Tiger. *sigh*
