Its also possible that the file still contains your work somewhere The file size is a pretty good indicator that your text is still present. So in most cases manual recovery is still possible. Also you might want to give Outlook Express the flick, Thunderbird has less security issues and a spellcheck built in.

If so, yes there is something obvious you're doing wrong, you should save your work much more frequently. Ctrl+S is a real quick way to save. If I'm doing significant work, I normally save every few minutes. Hitting Ctrl+S takes literally less than one second. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
