Is it possible to recover a message you have written on a web page which was accidently closed or crashed? This is so annoying. You spend ages composing a message on a web page and go to press send and then their is an error and the message is lost. There is no way back it seems. If you press the 'Back' arrow you do not return to your message. It doesn't happen often but it is very time consumming and very annoying when it occurs. Of course I could copy the massage to clipboard before pressing sending but I often don't remember to do that. Is there a tool that can stop this happening?

This happened

Just once or twice

== It's a problem that is as old the the web
