24. Retrieving lost articles/replies (rec.arts.tv.soaps)

Have you ever typed a long summary or reply and somehow blew it (hit the
wrong key, system went down, aborted accidentally, etc)? There is a way
to retrieve your file, if you are on a Unix machine! Look in any one
of the following files - located in your home directory.

dead.letter
dead.article
.article
.letter

Note that the latter two files will not be seen if you do a regular "ls".
To see files the begin with a ".", you must type "ls -a".
