Some messages I'm working on seem to randomly appear in my Drafts folder - how can I stop this?

I have used Save Draft before, but now messages just seem to randomly appear in the folder. At one time I had 200 "draft" messages, of messages I'd already sent. It must be some kind of "timer" problem, i.e., if I leave the PC for a while w/out having "saved" the message I'm working on.

There is a default setting to save a draft every 5 minutes if you take a long time to compose a message. The setting is in Options/Preferences > Composition.
