+ Bug#: 996
+ Product: Horde
+ Version: 2.0 Stable
+ Platform: Mozilla 5.x
+ OS/Version: All
+ Status: NEW   
+ Resolution: 
+ Severity: normal
+ Priority: P2
+ Component: IMP
+ Area: BUILD
+ AssignedTo: chuck@horde.org                            
+ ReportedBy: syntax@pa.net

+ Summary: Compose Silently Destroys Data
+ 
+ If you are composing a really long reply to a message, long enough that the
+ timeout period expires, when you click send on the reply the message you
+ composed will be silently destroyed without any warnings, and IMP won't save the
+ message to any location where you could recover it.
+ 
+ I understand that since you are "logged out" it doesn't know who you are and
+ thus doesn't know what to do with the data, but you'd think there'd be some way
+ to check with javascript to see if the session is still active, when compose
+ windows are open keep the session active, or at least save the submitted data to
+ a temporary cache file somewhere.
+ 
+ To reproduce the error:
+ 
+ Reply to a message, leave the compose window open, and do not do anything in the
+ other window to keep the session active until the session closes, then submit
+ your message.
