Auto-save draft in e-mail activity.

Our staff regularly send e-mail messages to constituents using Civi. Today, one of the staff members reported that she got an unknown error when sending the email. She had spent quite a bit of time composing the message and all of her efforts were lost.

Auto-saving drafts, every 60 seconds or so, would prevent these unforseeable difficulties.

Brylie - This has come up several times in the past. Would be great if you could investigate some options for integrating this into the email composition forms (hopefully using an existing plugin).

Hi Brylie,

I wrote a small experimental extension to auto-save civicrm forms:
