This is particularly annoying as if the message can't be saved, it can't be sent.

Actually the mail should not be lost: as long as it hasn't been saved to the Sent folder, it should be kept in the temporary file on disk. Moreover, a new menu screen isn't needed, just a prompt. -- Vincent Lefèvre <[email protected]> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
