User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:72.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/72.0

Steps to reproduce:

write a draft, press save.
Wait -- takes long because network down - press cancel.
Messages pops up offering to store locally.
Choose yes, email seems to be stored

Actual results:

Email is in the local store, but the body is empty. Subject line is ok. Don't remember if I entered a recipient

Expected results:

body should be stored/saved as well

Happened (same day) about 7 times within an hour.

If I wait for the timeout storing on imap to finally fail, then the body is stored. Problem only comes up if I cancel the storing to imap.

Reason for this user interaction: since one or two subversions, the timeout on imap seems to be multiple seconds (>10??) without me changing anything. So it is annoying to wait until local save is proposed.

Does this reproduce in version 78?
