It is interesting when you're drafts folder is full of e-mails with the header "Encrypted message" unless you can remember what time you saved the message finding a specific message is impossible. I think the idea is that as messages on say an IMAP server are stored on that remote mail server any messages in draft are also stored there, so saving a message would leave the e-mail in plain text, while the messages in sent and inbox would be encrypted. So encrypting drafts make sense.l Useful feature in a way but not that useful in the current implementation. so as you said not worth it. If we can confirm this it may be worth looking at sending in a bug report.
