I just had a very annoying experience. My X session crashed while I was in middle of writing a very long email. Unfortunately the "autosave" feature was not enabled in my Thunderbird profile. It's weird a little bit, because I'm quite sure I've never disabled it and on my Mac at home it's enabled by default. You can even check this in the Config Editor, look for the mail.compose.autosave property and check whether it has true or false as default. I just checked: in the Windows version of Thunderbird v2.0.0.6 the default is true, thus autosave is enabled. In the Ubuntu 7.04 version of Thunderbird v1.5.0.14pre (that's the latest for the mentioned Ubuntu release) the default is false, thus autosave is disabled. Very annoying. At least now I've learnt that I should not trust to have the same default settings in the different platform versions of a cross-platform software. :-> Or maybe the problem is with v1.5.x TB against v2.0.x? Never mind ... it's still very annoying.
