Details

Since the Mail-Software is not entirely stable and will presumably never be (there are other programs that will destabilize the system...) an autosave function could really enhance the usability of the product. This function should just save the message(s)/project(s) the user is working on every n minutes into a local folder. These should be reopened if the system restarts. In case they are send, saved ore closed they can be removed. Also a "restore desktop" function would ease to shut down the system and resume the operation where it ended. Alltough these are features that have to be added to the system, they are even more interesting when mozilla is still not 100% bullet-proof.
Interesting. Maybe put a document entitled 'autosave' in the drafts folder.

Ever confirmed: true
I also think this would be a very straight-forward approach (but be aware of multiple open files - so there should be something like "autosave-[n]" or "autosave-[subject]") One might also think of the html-composer to autosave (not only mail-data is subject to "self"-destruction ...P-) )
