Comment (by Gabe462):

 Thanks for posting this, alicestill!

 Here are the requests I'm seeing in this ticket:

 1. Save & auto-save drafts
 2. Warning that you will lose your email draft if you close the tab or go
 back
 3. An easy to use, Editor-style email composition
 4. Ability to view sent emails

 possible deliverables, in order of complexity:
 1. add a javascript event that fires on page reload/close when there is
 content in the email fields
 2. add a button to load an old message into the editor for viewing/resend
 3. instantiate the visual editor for the "Message" field

 Possible implementation:

 1: add javascript to this page along the lines of
 window.onbeforeunload = function () {
 return "Are you sure?";
 }

 with exceptions for the send and preview buttons

 2: Add a "load" link at the right of each email in the table. enable
 "show_in_rest" for the tix_email cpt for this page, and fetch the id
 corresponding to  the email clicked. The title and content are written to
 the Subject and Message fields.

 3: research necessary
