Just noticed something a a bit unusual in how TB handles Drafts. I have TB set to autosave compositions every 5 mins - That is the default setting. After 5 mins, the composition is saved as a draft in the drafts folder. I've just composed a mail, but because I repeatedly got interrupted I now have four drafts of it in the Drafts folder. I sent the mail , but the drafts have remained. As a long time user of TB, I always thought that drafts were automatically deleted once the mail was sent. Is this a bug, a new setting or just something I have never noticed before? It's obviously not a major problem though..
TB 68.2.2 (32bit) on Linux Mint 19.3 (on a 15 year old Dell laptop rescued from a friend's uncle who was going to bin it)

Right click on the name of the Drafts folder in the left hand pane of Thunderbird's main window and select "Compact" from the context menu that appears.
