  | Based on what you describe, I suspect what happened is that your digest
  | bursting program overwrite your draft file between "repl" and "send",
  | and your "send" sucessfully sent the digest.

I was thinking the same, almost - my suspicion is that the digest burst
and transmit destroyed the draft (as you suggest) and the the lack of the
draft file is what caused Laura's send to fail/abort.   By the time that
happened (even if nmh were capable of doing anything rational at that point)
the draft was probably already gone.

I would suggest using -draftfolder in all automated sending programs/scripts,
it avoids any problems of this nature, but can also make it easier to debug
any problems with the automated script.
