With Eudora, when I thought an email was ready to send, I would

go back and
add to or edit the message.
Eudora's otherwise generally silly MoodWatch feature does this
automatically if
it thinks your e-mail is over a certain "flameyness" threshold,
which is
semi-useful.
Plugin material, definitely, but the ability to enqueue a message is
VERY
useful, I agree.

just IMO,
any enqueuing feature should not be enabled by default unless it has a
reliable way of emptying the queue when sleeping or shutting down the
computer... Having your mail not get sent until the next time you open
your laptop wouldn't fall under "expected behavior" :)
