Some e-mail programs (eg. Eudoram, IIRC) allow you to queue e-mail 
messages instead of sending them when you hit the button to say you are 
finished composing the message. Even that feature won't help if you get 
in the habit of hitting "Queue message" immediately followed by "Send 
queued messages".
