Networking is checking into the problem.  I haven't heard back from them
yet.  As we find out more, we'll post that information into this newsgroup.

Hmmm....it's a little cumbersome, but here it goes.  You should have a file
in your account called something like:
 
    MAIL_01HPJZNZ5OHG9GV64T_SEND_TMP.TPU$JOURNAL;1
 
This is the file that the editor uses to store all of your keystrokes in
for recovery.  You may have several of these files in your account.  You'll
need to find the name of the correct one to recover.  The command DIR/DATE
may help with this search.
 
Once you've got the file name, issue the command:
 
    $ EDIT/RECOVER MAIL_01HPJZNZ5OHG9GV64T_SEND.TMP
 
Of course, you need to replace the filename with the related info from your
filename.  Notice the format of the filename in this command in comparison
to the original filename (you get rid of the .TPU$JOURNAL;1 part and move
the period).
 
This command should recover the file and allow you to save the file.  To
mail it to someone, get into MAIL and issue the command:
 
    EMAIL> SEND MAIL_01HPJZNZ5OHG9GV64T_SEND.TMP
 
then just answer the To: and Subject: questions as usual.
