Well, that explains a lot of things. Including the rush to get 1.61 out that

Isn't that unnecessesarily complicated ?
Surely the information in the compose window is stored somewhere - maybe
textarea.tmp ? Why not just pre-load or re-load (take your pick) the
window with the contents of textarea.tmp (or whatever), and to eliminate
the annoyance of yesterday's mail popping into the compose window, just
automatically delete textarea.tmp when the window is saved (F2).
In other words, the software should simply make an effort to see that
textarea.tmp is cleared AFTER typical use.
ASM coders try to do things as simply as possible. <G>
