It's still an extra step, I suppose... I'm betting that you'd like an

Close, but I would prefer it to be time based. That way, the delay
would be uniform for each message, and I would not have to remember to
flush the last mail.
Unfortunately, even Outlook does not have a uniform delay for each
message. It just runs the Send/Receive function on a configurable
interval. If I write my message close to the time that the Send/Receive
function is to be run, the window of time in which I can realize my
mistake may be less than I would like. Luckily, for most of the
mistakes I have in mind, the realization that I have made a mistake
occurs in the second or two after I click the send button.
So with sendmail you can definitely set it to "always queue" messages
and then flush the queue on a periodic basis. This would precisely
simulate your Outlook behavior.
It probably wouldn't be too hard to add a rule/milter such that it only
attempts to do remote deliveries if the message is more than N seconds
old. It's been a while, but I seem to recall it was possible to
configure ssmtp or fetchmail to do this kind of thing as well.
