'Security Text does not match' problem

This seems to be going around: you send a message to someone but it doesn't send and you get a 'Security Text does not match' message.
When this happens for real, i.e when you type in the wrong security text, you get the message but if you hit your browser's BACK button you go back to the page where your message is waiting with a new security text. If you have this erroneous message, when you go back your text has gone.
I didn't realise that's what was wrong at first but there does
seem to be a way around it:
When you get the 'Security Text does
not match' message, hit your browser's Back button which should take you
back to your message text. Click in the Message window and hit
Control+A to select all of the text and then Control+C to copy it to
your clipboard.
Hit the Send Message button again and you'll get the 'Security Text does
not match' message again along with empty Subject and Message windows.
Retype the Subject line, click in the Message window and hit Control+V
to paste in your message from last time. Enter the code and send again
and the message then goes out.
It's a bit of a palava, although it takes longer to describe it that it
does to do it.

Oh, and you can always select and copy the message text before you hit the
Send button the first time, to save having to go back and do it :D
