Remember what has been typed in case of Opera crashing or a power failure?

Many times I have experienced that after writing a long post in a forum (for example), Opera has crashed before adding/saving it. All typed text is then gone after restarting. Frustrating. You could say that this is the sites responsibility, like Google does in Gmail and Docs (autosave), but not many sites do.

Could it be possible for Opera to remember the text that has been typed, so it wont get lost?

For safety, this text should maybe be deleted from "memory" (harddrive) after submitting it, closing (by the user) the tab/window or when the user choose to manually delete it in the menu (or similar).

Thanks!

A remember text function?

In lieu of a native implementation you could consider using http://extendopera.org/userjs/content/textarea-backup-localstorage
