I agree with you. I don't wish to accidentally send a half-finished draft from the outbox. I have seen different ways of implementing this. Pegasus mail has a separate view for the outbox (identified as "queued mail)." Pegasus also has a separate view for "saved messages." I am not a programmer, however, and so have no idea how difficult it is to implement a difference for the user between an outbox (queued mail) and saved mail (drafts). The "old" Eudora (version 7.01, not the new Thunderbird version) stores both queued mail (composed and completed messages sent when Eudora is in offline mode) and saved drafts in the outbox. The queued mail shows in the outbox with a "Q" and the saved mails show as a green circle. There is a command for sending queued mail, but the saved drafts remain in the outbox until one changes the status of a queued message to "sendable." Then when the command is given to send all queued mail, all that is in queue is sent (but not saved drafts, until any given one is changed in status to sendable).
