People who say that in MacSOUP you send a message by closing it are
just mistaken. You do no such thing. What you do by closing it is return
it to the queue. Nothing gets sent until you connect to the server; it's
not an online reader.

If you decide not to send a message then you just delete it from the
queue?

Yes. It uses the non-standard Command-D to delete, mind you. However,
that was Apple's own choice of delete keystrokes for the contemporary
Claris Emailer, and I believe that rn/trn/strn used something similar,
so in the historical context it's not so odd, even if it should now be
updated.

Or if you're not sure, you can just hold the message in the queue.
