That can happen, eg if you use Mutt as your mail client |
| 12 |
& leave the default tempdir in ~/.muttrc as /tmp , |
| 13 |
when your system crashes (eg power failure) in the middle of a msg, |
| 14 |
you will have to start writing the msg all over again. |
| 15 |
The way to avoid this is to change .muttrc to 'set tmpdir="/var/tmp"', |
| 16 |
so that you can recall the .swp file & rescue what you were writing. |
| 17 |
Perhaps the OP has some problem of that kind & that is the solution. |
