使用草稿

“草稿”表示已应用 DRAFT 系统标签的未发送邮件。草稿中包含的消息一经创建便无法修改，但可以替换。从这个意义上讲，草稿资源只是提供稳定 ID 的容器，因为每当消息被替换时，底层消息 ID 都会发生变化。

草稿中的消息资源的行为与其他消息类似，但存在以下差异：

• 草稿邮件不得带有 DRAFT 系统标签以外的任何标签。
• 草稿发送后，系统会自动删除草稿，并使用 SENT 系统标签创建一个具有更新 ID 的新消息。此消息会在 drafts.send 响应中返回。

创建草稿邮件

您的应用可以使用 drafts.create 方法创建草稿。一般流程如下：

1. 创建符合 RFC 2822 的 MIME 邮件。
2. 将消息转换为 base64url 编码的字符串。
3. 创建草稿，将 drafts.message.raw 字段的值设置为编码字符串。

以下代码示例演示了此过程。

更新草稿

与创建草稿类似，如需更新草稿，您必须在请求正文中提供 Draft 资源，并将 draft.message.raw 字段设置为包含 MIME 邮件的 base64url 编码字符串。由于无法更新邮件，草稿中包含的邮件会被销毁，并替换为更新请求中提供的新 MIME 邮件。

您可以通过使用参数 format=raw 调用 drafts.get 来检索草稿中包含的当前 MIME 邮件。

如需了解详情，请参阅 drafts.update。

发送草稿

发送草稿时，您可以选择按原样发送邮件，也可以发送更新后的邮件。如果您要使用新邮件更新草稿内容，请在 drafts.send 请求的正文中提供 Draft 资源；设置要发送的草稿的 draft.id；并将 draft.message.raw 字段设置为编码为 base64url 编码字符串的新 MIME 邮件。如需了解详情，请参阅 drafts.send。
