We have configuration toggles to determine whether things like
stylesheets should be cached, but, for the most part, we do out best
to ensure pages aren't cached.

The compose window still behaves are you describe.  To change the
caching level of the compose window, twiddle the following code in
compose.php:

    if ($browser->isBrowser('netscape')) {
        session_cache_limiter('public');
    }

The documentation for session_cache_limiter() is available here:

    http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-cache-limiter.php

It's the one and only native PHP function I've ever written. =)
