I was in the process of typing a very long email message on Outlook
Express when my computer crashed and I had to force a reboot.  Outlook
Express did not save the message in my Drafts or Deleted folders.  Is
there anyway to recover this message?

Thank you.

You are out of luck.

The message you were composing was only in RAM and got wiped when the PC
crashed.

To protect yourself in the future when composing a long message, you
must manually save it periodically to the DRAFTS by doing a File, Save
(Ctrl+S) or to an EML file by doing File, Save As.
