I have set my default to 120 (which results in "2 minutes" being 
displayed in the "Send Later" header field). When I realize that there's 
a typo (inevitable) or that I'd like to reformulate or add something, 
I'll do the cancel send and edit thing.

When I want to send something tomorrow at 9am, I replace the "Send 
Later" header and write "tomorrow 9am" in it. The field accepts quite a 
bit of syntax and turns red if it can't parse what you wrote.
