I have recently noticed that when "composing" a news or email piece in Zap
TTFN has not always acknowledged that I have finished writing it - I have
S-Ctrl-F3 set up to close and save the window, which will normally result in
TTFN opening it's little "Send message
<123123123.234234@moffatt.demon.co.uk>?" window.
Sometimes it doesn't do this, and I am left with "TTFN_Work" in the scrap
directory, and TTFN whinging that "You can only compose one item at a time" if I
try to write the article again.  
I am using Zap 1.30 (although it happened with 1.2 as well) on a 5MB RPC
What I normally have to do is move TTFN_Work to a temporary place, quit TTFN,
reload it, find the message I was replying to, delete all of the text from the
zap window and drop the TTFN_Work that I'd moved into zap and then save and
close it.
It doesn't happen all of the time - prehaps one in ten messages, but when it
does it's a real pain :-(
