It would be ideal to have configuration options to periodically (and deliberatly
on crash or error) attempt to backup a message thats being composed into the
Drafts folder for recovery on the next restart of the Editor. Similar to the way
vi, emacs or Mircosoft word produce backups when crashed. 

I've often lost an email I was editing while doing something silly that caused
the OS or Mozilla to crash elsewhere. Recovery would have been a nice feature in
those instances of my stupidity.
