I recently installed the Quick Save plugin into my Squirrelmail server. It is simply great: every n seconds (configurable) it saves the contents of the message I am composing. If I go to another page by accident (e.g. pressing backspace when the textblock lost focus) and I return to the page I get a javascript popup asking if I would want to recover my text.
It happened quite often, also in this forum that I lost a lot of text because of some stupid action (by myself;-))
Maybe an idea to implement here? I cannot find the licensing conditions for it, but squirrelmail itself is licensed under GPL.
[Edit: hmm, looking at the code, the way they implemented it, it uses a fixed frame in which the data is saved. Guess that would not be so easy to implement. Ah well, would have liked the idea though]

The problem with me is usually not the Submit-time, but a page-transition because of either stupidity of mine (e.g. backspace when the textbox no longer has focus is a big #1), or some other program opening a page in the same window/tab as my edit..
But, editing in a separate editor might be a good idea if you plan to write a longer response.
