Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

A power outage while editing a postponed mail.

(Same happens, if you kill mutt (SIGTERM or KILL) while editing a postponed mail; I just verified this)

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

Nothing. A power outage or other "crash" events are out of my control.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

The content of the postponed file was gone. File still exists, but is empty (0 bytes).

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

Keep the content of the postponed file after a crash.
