Hello,
I am sorry, you are not going to be able to recover this message.
This always happens when you have created that perfectly worded epithet - crafted to absolute perfection - that, when lost, you have absolutely no hope of ever creating again in such magnificence... 🙁
No. And I just tested it. If you hit cancel, then delete draft, it will not go to your trash bin, because you never saved it at all.
Ugh! It’s my own fault I guess. I know better than to do free-flow writing in email. Usually I do it in Word then copy and paste to email. Just got carried away with the thoughts.
thank you for helping me. 😇
Yikes! I can’t recover it? That’s one hour of free flow writing down the drain!
I pressed cancel, then save draft. And now it’s gone? Gone where? How can this happen?
I thought that could be too. But then wouldn’t it be in my trash? Which it is not.
You're welcome and sorry. I know how it feels to lose something you spent much effort composing.
So right!
It's possible you accidentally tapped Delete Draft instead of Save Draft. I've done this on occasion.
