I wasn't aware that MM had this option. Back in the Mac Eudora days, it 
had an option to make the default behavior "send now" or "queue" (and 
would change what the button said depending). Queue added the message to 
the outbound queue, which was sent at the next scheduled mail check. In 
my case, this was every 15 minutes, so I usually had 5-15 minutes after 
queuing a message to rethink it. Probably every couple of weeks there 
was a message where I realized after clicking "queue" that I wanted to 
reword something, or that I'd written something incorrect.
