- less risk of losing a 'reply' draft if you are a slow typist or take a
phone call only to have your connection timed out (link it to the system
editor for composition instead of using the built-in?, OR automatically do
'keep alive' in certain modes, OR ... suggestions that keep security up
and aggravation down??).
Just one of the points, and no guarantee this is feasible, but I think I can make a _suggestion_ for fixing it...
This could (I suspect, but that's without *ever* having looked at the HTML source of the form, nor sqwebmail in general) probably be set up VERY easily with a simple time-out JavaScript function on the editing form's page. There's surely a "Save as Draft" action which I would presume can be triggered by such a JS time-out function. -- Then simply have an extra parameter passed to whatever "result page" is the target of the time-out, so that it knows to tell the user "the draft message has been saved... you can find it in your <<drafts>> folder."
Alternatively, it could submit the editing form back to itself (keeping the session active, and the data alive with "minimal" user interruption) after a JS time out... that is, if it's a matter of the server-based session being timed out *while* you're still working on data which concerns you. That would however initiate an infinitely-looping, never-dying, persistent user session if a browser window was merely left open inadvertently. -- So, maybe there would have to be a maximum number of "auto-reloads" to keep that out of the equation. Or maybe it could check the length of the auto-reloaded data and compare it to the previous length (stored in a separate form/JS field) and "Save as Draft" if 2 or 3 subsequent "auto-reloads" had the same exact length... and were therefore (presumably) caused by a session being left unattended.
Hmm...
... Just some thoughts. Any comments?
