User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fi-FI; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20051010 Firefox/1.0.7 (Ubuntu package 1.0.7) Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fi-FI; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20051010 Firefox/1.0.7 (Ubuntu package 1.0.7) After a crash which happened when I had been composing a mail for two hours, I reopened thunderbird, and found no way to recover the last mail which I was writing. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Write a mail, preferably for at least two hours 2. Crash thunderbird, or, kill it 3. Reopen thunderbird and try to recover the mail which you was writing Actual Results: Mail being composed is lost in the case of a crash, and cannot be recovered after reopeing thunderbird. Expected Results: The mail being composed should be all the time cached, which would make it possible to recover it after thunderbird has been crashed/killed. Once this feature is fixed/implemented, it will make people happy in the case of a crash. Also it will spur more joyful bug report in the long run.
