We are seeing unexpected behavior for some of our email collections. Once we have downloaded their mbox files via the audit API, it looks like a user was in the process of drafting a message, and copies of his email appear in the collected mbox file. So each successive email has more words. Has anyone seen this behavior before?

Hi Victor,

Do you know if the user is using the Gmail UI exclusively or might they be creating the drafts with another app / device. It sounds a bit like maybe Outlook, Thunderbird or some other email client are saving new revisions of the draft as a new message each time. I've never seen this behavior with Gmail itself.
