[ARCHIVED] Can I recover partially composed Canvas messages that I lost?

While I was crafting a long message to my instructor, I accidentally hit the escape key. Whoosh—Just like that, the last 30 minutes of my day just vanishes. When this happens, is my writing gone with the wind, or is there some kind of drafts box I don't know about?

This has happened to me a few times. If these lost messages are recoverable, I really want to know about it for future reference, because I'm going to bump my escape key a LOT.

To recreate: Go to your Canvas Inbox → "Compose a new message" → [Write up a message] → Hit your escape key.

One fix I'd like to recognize: Be more concise with messages 😅
