I never have this happening as I first check mail and then manually trigger email to be send. Never run into problems like you have described, maybe a way for you to go too. Not saying it should work like you would like it to, just right now it doesn't and so this would be possibly a working solution. This usually also prevents the 'oops forgot to attach my vacation pict to the email to aunt julie' sort of frantic aborting of messages :)
