How can I add a tag to an email DRAFT (before I click "Send")?

Most of the time I send emails, I already know I want to add a tag to it (a "follow up" tag, or an "important" tag, for example). Is there a way to tag this email while it's still in draft form, before I click "Send"? Currently, I have to click "Send', then chase the email to my Sent mailbox and mark it with a tag from there, which seems like an unnecessary additional step. Thanks in advance for help!

I don't think you can tag a draft or unsent message, but if you could specify the rules for tagging sent messages, e.g. according to recipient, subject etc., a message filter acting on the Sent folder could automatically tag such messages.
