This is an email client problem, but not a general email issue.  So if your
client is a web client (i.e., you use a web browser to access it) you do
stand a chance of timing out after composing a long email (this is a property
of the http protocol).  However, if you use a locally installed client (like
Thunderbird or Outlook Express) you won't have the timeout problem.
