[comp.mail.mh] Why are my old drafts hanging around?

victor@arnor.uucp (11/03/90)

I use a draft folder called drafts, and have noticed that a number of the
drafts of messages that I have sent stay around permanently (but not all).
Why does this happen?  Also, I'm using mh-e, and have noticed that when
I send mail (but not always), I'm asked by emacs whether or not I want to
delete excess backup versions.  Why are backup versions even being kept?
