excellent.  But beware, this is very much alpha in nature - has not been

Yes, there are ways to accomplish that.  A bit complicated given that
the META tag works in most cases.  It might be best to just keep it
client-side.  There are still possibilities for not trashing the user's
email but keeping the timeout code client-side.  I will try to look into
this as time allows.

I'll let you know when I have something.

You mean quicksave clashes with IE?

No problem.  Thanks for your patience.
