Two tips

I've most often suffered this fate while typing a lengthy email... but then Gmail added a VERY cool "autosave" feature for emails-in-progress... that problem has since largely disappeared.

I'd say that if you're typing anything more than a couple of sentences into a web text field, why not draft it in TextEdit first and then copy-paste?

Use a utility such as Saft to automatically load a textarea into your favorite text program for editing.

I agree. If I know I'm going to write a long email response or post on a site, I often pop open Textedit and draft there first (and save often). I've lost too many hours of my life over the years retyping into a browser or email app that decided it wanted to give up the ghost in the middle of my long winded reverie. :)
