TB saves all sent messages in the "Sent" folder. It has happened a couple times 
that a n.g. posting got lost in transit, and I'd just get a copy from the Sent 
folder and resubmit it.

I have never lost a message with TB. It's usually in the Sent or the Drafts folder.

I suggest checking your TB options, and make sure to check the box about 
automatically saving a copy of sent messages.
