Default Computer crashed, I lost new message in process...can I find it somewhere?

I was in the middle of a long response to an email when my Win2000 computer
crashed. Is it possible that this response message might be found in a temp
file somewhere? If it is, can someone give me some ideas where to look.
I'm using OE6. I've glanced through all the tmp files I could think of, but
that was completely at random. I would really like to retrieve this
message.

Thanks for any suggestions...

jc

Have you looked in OE's "Drafts" folder? If it wasn't sent it may be there.

It's gone. If you are going to compose a long message, save it to Drafts
once you start it and every paragraph, or so, check File | Save, (or
Ctrl+S), to save changes up to that point.
