      Description

      It appears that CiviMail will allow a user to add the recipients of the current draft mailing the user is editing to the Recipients field. Since this mailing hasn't been sent, this will result in the mailing being set to send to "No recipients". Seems like a problem. To reproduce on the demo master (I used Drupal, you can use whatever I'm sure):

      1. Go to Mailings > New Mailing to start a new CiviMail.
      2. Enter something ridiculous into the Mailing Name field. I used "Colorado Aardvark Gumdrop Winky Diamonds" but you can use whatever. YMMV.
      3. Wait for the draft to autosave, should only be a few seconds.
      4. Copypasta that wacky and ironic mailing name into the Recipients field.
      5. Behold the ability to select the recipients of your current draft email as recipients!

      NB: My whole theory falls apart if there is a default Smart Group named "Colorado Aardvark Gumdrop Winky Diamonds" that ships with a basic install of CiviCRM.
