Actually, I see it being more useful *now*. Nowadays it's quite common for people to have two different connections: cheap and fast (wired broadband) and slow and expensive (cellphone). If you have a message with a large attachment and you are on a slow 2G network, you might want to delay sending until you get a good connection, possibly on WiFi. Anyway... old trick to remove ridiculously large messages from the outbox: just disconnect from the Internet and wait for the timeout. As soon as the mail program detects you are offline, it will allow you to delete the message. (There was a time when about once a month some customer cried for help because they had attached an 80-Mb file to an e-mail, and they couldn't either send or delete it -- it was so big the SMTP server rejected it, and as soon as they opened the mail program, it kept trying to send the thing and locked the message. The record-holder tried to send some 40 ultra-high-resolution aerial photos at once... I think the message was around 170 Mb!) -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.
