One way to lose your text is to bring up a PM, enter your text in the "Quick Reply" area but then hit the "Reply" button above that window instead of the "Submit Message" button below the quick reply text box.

The cleanest way to reply to a PM is to hit the Green REPLY button just below the incoming PM text.

As far as not receiving an email notification of a new PM, that is controlled by a setting on "Edit Options" page on the Settings and Options section in the left menu bar. Here are a couple of the PM-related settings:

The forum can send a message to your email address to inform you when someone sends you a private message.
Receive Email Notification of New Private Messages

If you are browsing the forums when you receive a new private message, the system can pop-up a notification box informing you of the new message.
Show New Private Message Notification Pop-up


If this should happen again, please capture the sequence of steps and we will try to duplicate it.
Thank you.

Your second paragraph is what I've been doing. I understand now.
