I tried this by setting (setq gnus-mock-cleanup-p nil), running
`gnus-mock-start', editing the fakesendmail.py python file in the /tmp
directory to raise an exception, went through Dieter's recipe, then shut
down emacs, then `gnus-mock-resume' to re-start emacs using the old
installation, then restarting Gnus.

I also got the prompt about restoring save files, but didn't end up with
multiple drafts.
