Quoting Adam Arrowood <adam@oit.gatech.edu>:

| My question is, what is the best way to handle this problem? I would
| like to just say, "don't take over three hours to compose a message",
| but I'm not sure that's the best way to handle it. I could up the
| session timeout value, but don't like that either? Some users are asking
| to see a "session countdown" in the compose and/or mailbox screens...
| I've thought about making the compose option open a framed window, with
| a small frame that periodically refreshes a page that would up the
| session expiration time...

This has been implemented in CVS HEAD already - a popup window asks you if 
you want to refresh the window when there is 5 minutes left in your session.
