=======================================
=== PLEASE READ BEFORE FILING ISSUE:
https://code.google.com/p/gmail-delay-send/wiki/GmailDelaySendDebugging_8
=======================================

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.write a draft in email conversation
2.set for email to be sent at a later date
3.wait for time for email send to pass

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expect the email to be sent and show in sent mail (which happens). I also 
expect the draft to disappear. However, I see the email is sent, I get an email 
receipt of email sent, however the draft email is not deleted. It is still 
there. Any way to remove the draft copy when you send it?

What version of the product are you using?
Gmail for android (latest on nexus 7)

Please provide any additional information below.
Interestingly, the draft email is not seen in crafts label. However, when I go 
to sent mail label I clearly see the red draft note next to the mail heading 
and see the draft mail in the conversation (just before the actual email sent)

One solution to this problem is to use the Gmail API to send the draft message. 
This StackOverflow post describes the basic approach: 
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17660601/create-draft-mail-using-google-apps-
script

The GmailSendLater Google Apps Script 
(https://github.com/devietti/GmailSendLater) also includes some code that does 
this in SendLater.js::sendDraft(). Disclaimer: I wrote GmailSendLater.

Hey guys,

Thanks for the bug report, and thanks Joe for the suggested code!

But I'm a bit confused.  I dont' think the issue is to create a draft message. 
We already have one that the user has created.  What the script needs to do is 
to copy the current draft, send that draft, then delete the old one.

The code currently copies the old and deletes the draft that the user created. 
I don't have Nexus 7 to test this out, but on the web client when I go to th 
conversation that I responed to I see a note that says "1 deleted message in 
this conversation. View message or delete forever.". Which I guess is expected.

But when you're on the Nexus 7 this is actually showing you the draft message 
that we called 'MoveToTrash' on?

Thanks!
-Blair
