Unfortunately the problem is that nowadays the lower and upper bound
can be close. In the case of the Internet, sometimes the recipient gets
the mail within seconds of posting.

If you are willing to increase the lower bound, why not just make a
program that puts the mail in your private directory and sends it off
after N minutes, while you reconsider.

Or set dot in Mail, so that it takes . <cr> instead of just ^D to post.

People should be more careful with email, that's all.
