Why would one have to explicitly save if you press the send button in the message? Does it work so usually? I think not. If you open an outgoing message, edit it and press the send button, isn't the changes saved? They are. Consistently. So this behavior is inconsistent. Hardly you are defending inconsistent behavior? I know a user typically behave differently and do it the proper way, this is why this problem isn't that serious, but the time since one made the mistake of changing the status in the out box and wrote changes in the same open message and clicking the send button could be very long, it's not a penalty the user should be burdened with. PM should handle the situation so that data is not lost. Another way to handle this without data loss would be that PM closes the open message when the user changes its status on the out box, and fully following that particular routine give you the same save/discard dialog as when the user closes the edited message window.
