"Desktop" is a standard Emacs package which reloads the opened buffers
of the previous session.  In ~/.emacs :

(load "desktop")
(desktop-load-default)
(desktop-read)

then "M-x desktop-save" to save it for the first time.  Emacs status
is saved in the file "~/.emacs.desktop".  Excerpt :

(desktop-create-buffer 206
  "/home/trch/Mail/draft/6"
  "+draft/6"
  'mew-draft-mode
  '(auto-fill-mode)
  1850
  '(2083 nil)
  nil
  nil
  '((buffer-file-coding-system . ctext-unix)))

Not sure what you mean exactly by that.  The draft buffer receives the
correct mode and mew is loaded because I have in my ~/.emacs

(autoload 'mew-draft-mode "mew" nil t)

Mew works flawlessly.  It's just that if I switch to the +draft/6
buffer (in the example above), it does not act like a normal draft
buffer (I have to kill it, go to +draft/ and 'E'dit it to have it
react normally).

If I can be of more help, please tell me.
