I handle it the same way - with a little twist. The user starts the process going. The actual emails are sent out by a scheduled task which runs every 5 minutes - sending out the next xxx messages waiting to be sent.. the user then is redirected to a status page which shows how many of the current issue was sent, how many are remaining, the start time and the estimated end time. This page meta refreshes every 5 minutes... and the user can navigate away from it and come back later and if needed, they can also change the number sent out with each batch to speed it up or slow it down (this is for a daily newsletter mailing)
