Given you can be anywhere when composing a message the most common
situation is it takes as many as six clicks just to save a work in progress
(so that you don't lose it) and then go back to editing it.
 (while editing)... Action > Save & close draft
 Folders > (scroll) > Drafts > (find message) > (doubleclick it)

What would be nice is "Save" while continuing to edit the draft.
The reason is some posts are extremely detailed & "things happen".
You end up crying because you lost everything you were compiling.

I'm aware that you can 'pre-plan' a bit to reduce the six steps to
something less by 'pre-arranging' the folders, but that simply cuts down
the number of steps to save a draft from six to something less than six.

Is there any way to just save (in one step!) while editing a draft?
(without all the pre-planning which you have to manually arrange)
