[comment about a double post]
 > He must have hit the send button too early by mistake.

I used to do that occasionally. The reason is that the default position 
of [send] was on the left, under [File] and [Edit], and sometimes I did 
not move the mouse up enough before clicking. With Thunderbird, I was 
able to move [Send] to the right of the other buttons, under nothing. It 
is much harder to accidentally click it. I consider it a benefit that I 
have to consciously look for it. Now, [Spelling] is where [Send] used to 
be, and if I accidentally click *that*, no harm.
