Why Thunderbird blows away entire message when I try to undo a single word???
Despite saving my long message as a draft, when I undo a single word in that message that "blows away" the entire message and it seems it is impossible to recover from that. This is infuriating!

Can I ask you to elaborate on the series of steps?
If you saved it as draft, then do you not still have the draft copy?
I have worked with users who seem to think if they can see text, they can edit it. This is not so in Thunderbird. You'd have to open a message in the Composition window to change its contents, so for a pre-existing message that means you open a copy in one of:
- the Drafts folder, or
- a new copy made by Edit As New Message, or
- an old-fashioned "select, copy and paste" into a new message.
Outside of those contexts, "delete" will mean "delete the thing you currently have selected", which will be a message or a folder.

Saved email as a draft, changed some text, clicked on "Undo", entire email was "blow away" and my "draft" was emptied too...
Saved email as a draft,
so that leaves you in the original message, still editing it? Or somewhere else? Was it your own original composition, or a reply or a forward? Or a Draft being edited, or an Edit As New message derived from an old one?
Are you using File|Save As|Draft, or is this the system warning you that you're closing a changed message without having saved it?

I can't reproduce that. I'm still in the Compose window, editing and all is as normal.
