Sounds like a browser issue. The plugin has thousands of users, and that's the first I've ever heard that. The bigger problem with the plugin is that it does not save messages that are really big (well it saves only part of such messages). Also note that number of messages composed has no effect on the plugin; it only saves the most recent one. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
