On Friday evening, the last thing I tried to do before leaving work was to write an email to my boss. I opened up a composer window in Evolution, typed in the message, attached the attachment and hit Send. Evolution put up an error box saying ‘Unable to send message’, or something comparably uninformative, and when I clicked the ‘OK’ button (which really should have been labelled ‘it's not OK, dammit, but I'm resigned to there being nothing I can do about it’) Evolution closed the composer window. No draft of the message saved anywhere I could find.

That annoyed me enough that I decided to just go home and deal with it after the weekend. So this morning I came back in, remembered about it, sighed, and prepared to rewrite the message.

Only, on a hunch, I checked with my boss first – and it turns out he did receive it. Bwarghle.
