I'm in favor of the change. If sending does fail, mutt leaves you at the composition window (attach?) to do a postponement, try sending again, etc. The problem I'd see is that if sending failed due to some network error, I'd have 3 or 4 copies of the email by the time it finally gets fixed in the relevant mailbox that I had to delete manually. > The situation where I have the mail locally, but it was not sent can > easily recovered on my side. The other one (mail sent, but no local > copy) cannot be always recovered without contacting the recipient. You still have the copy, but it is just saved after sending. Or are you worried about Fcc failing after being sent? --Ben
