I simply stop typing in the reply message window, move the pointer up and pull down the Apple menu, select "Sleep" (thanks to Fruit Menu, same as System Services--> Sleep) wait for the machine to nod off, and... That's it for the night. By the way, this has happened twice in the last week or so. The first time, I attributed it to unknown pilot error. But this time I'm certain of what I did and did not do. There's nothing I did that should have resulted in sending the message.
