The message is not lost, but becomes a "draft". This works similar in most email systems. When you edit an email and son't send it, it stays in your "draft" email folder and does not show up in your "sent" folder. Same here. You are suppost to "submit" you entry, the "save" is just a temporary safety backup. If you do not submit (if you press BACK or your browser crashes), the entry is not submitted to the system, but stays around as a draft. If you create a new message, the system asks you to edit and finish your draft, so that it does not get lost. So always hit "submit" if you are finished editing a message, not just "save".
If you want to see the draft message, they are rendered in red in the normal message list if you have
List drafts = 1
in your config file. No ide where your cluttering comes from.

I found a sequence which hides the message from the list.
In addition this sequence corrupts UTF encoding of the text.
- create new message
- submit it
- Edit this message again
- click SAVE and then exit the editor (click Logbook name in the header or BACK in the browser)
- message disappeared from the list!
- by clicking NEW message I found my lost one in the drafts, but all text was corrupted.
I've made small GIF presentation on this issue (attached, open in new window), may be this helps.
