Neil or Gus, this is Ralph <rafazap>. Would you mind
forwarding this to the list? I can't get the From: field to
accept any entries so I am certain that the email I just sent
to the list isn't going to make it. Feel free to send me a
confirmation message to be sure it's me. You should have my
email address already.
Thanks in advance.

I was composing an email when X locked up on me. The clock
continues to function, and the mouse pointer still moves, but
the pointer doesn't change according to hover context and
nothing responds, not even Ctrl-Alt-Delete. Fortunately
Ctrl-Alt-F6 worked and I managed to figure out how to get a
second X running on :1 . :0 still displays, but I have a
navigator window on top and can't get to the email I was
composing underneath.
The email is not saved, but has got to be in memory somewhere.
How do I find the temp file? I would really like to keep the
text of that email.
I'm on FC4. Mozilla version I *think* is 1.7.13 IIRC.

Mozilla and Thunderbird both use mbox format files. As part of the
process of creating an e-mail they use a file called Drafts, located
somewhere under the ~/.mozilla directory. I no longer have the Mozilla
suite so I don't know where it is exactly. For Thunderbird it's under
~/.thunderbird/<some_random_string>.default/Mail/Local Folders/
Try to see if you can find that file. If you are lucky it might contain
your message. There might also be a file that ends in a tilde ~, common
for some temporary files. Check those out also.
