As far as I can see, Thunderbird doesn't save sent NNTP messages anywhere unless
you explicitly tell it to. :(
TB saves all sent messages in the "Sent" folder. It has happened a couple times
that a n.g. posting got lost in transit, and I'd just get a copy from the Sent
folder and resubmit it.
I have never lost a message with TB. It's usually in the Sent or the Drafts
folder.
I suggest checking your TB options, and make sure to check the box about
automatically saving a copy of sent messages.
