Same git commit here.  It was current as of a few hours ago, at least, 
but I've been running it for a few days now.

When there's no messages in a "group", pan offers to fetch headers for 
the group as soon as you enter it.

So assuming you sent that message via pan (I didn't look), you should now 
have a message in the sent messages "group", and it will no longer popup 
that warning.

The drafts "group" still offers to fetch headers here, but I've not saved 
any drafts since the new code and I'm not sure how that interacts with 
the old drafts handling, yet.  Presumably, as soon as I save a draft, it 
won't popup that offer any more either.


That said, both of the local "groups" should really be special-cased to 
disable that feature, just as pan doesn't show the fetch headers menu 
items or buttons when in those "groups".  I guess Heinrich simply 
overlooked the empty-"group" popup when he did the special-casing.
