I think it would be a good feature to prompt for actions if a message is
in Sent status and 'Send' is chosen - i.e. "Do you want to send this
message again (no undo), create a copy to send, or Cancel?"  I would
think that creating a copy should be the default action.

Note that by creating a copy to send, your original and the copy would be
properly date stamped in the respective folders.

I couldn't find anything, but then I am a casual user of PowerMail.
