anything more than one line then paste into SM mail and send.


Not a bad idea, I use the same procedure on web feedback forms. But you 
also can just do a CTRL+S before hitting send if you have been having 
connection issues...

What does n=message mean?


My guess: wrongly hit N instead of M (for message) (qwerty keyboard), then 
wrongly hit "=" instead of backspace, then proceed with "message", lastly 
be so angry as not to check your message before posting!

Why didn't you CTRL+S and save a draft before canceling?


Why are we obliged to do so ?
I agree with the OP it's stupid to erase the message !


If SeaMonkey saved a draft automatically on every canceled message I foresee a 
number
of folks with burgeoning draft folders...


The problem is not "saving" or "not saving" the problem is that when a send 
operation
is cancelled, the mail must be still present and displayed permitting another 
try to
send.
it's stupid to loose a not-sent message ...


I don't recall ever having to "cancel" a send operation, and still would like 
to know
what is a n=message. Newsgroup message?

Maybe the news server had a problem. Isn't there a Retry or Save option when a 
send
operation fails?


Retry=may be  -  Save=I don't know :But after a certain time, the op did not 
want to
pursue, and cancel the last try ... ending with tha fact that the message 
disappeared
...with the cancel operation.

I just done a test with a mail - the cancel operation let the mail on the 
screen - so
nothing is lost. I had wrongly believed the OP.

It's something called CYA. You can set SeaMonkey to "Automatically

Where is this pref in the UI?

If I create a draft, edit it, and then try to cancel the edited draft, 
I get a pop-up window asking:



Message has not been sent. Do you want to save the message in your
drafts folder (Drafts)?
'Save' 'Don't Save' 'Cancel'


Wae are not speaking about cancelling an edited draft, we are speaking 
about cancelling a send-operation.

Alternatively, when a Send fails, maybe a box stating the fail and
