I think all the discussion about the post office and mail boxes is
a bit off the mark.  As of the above comment, I see his problem:
the mail interface is not friendly.  It's too easy to let the letter
slip out of your fingers into the mail box.  So try "mh" if you can
find a copy.  When you think you're done, you exit your favorite
editor and then answer a question about what you want to do with the
letter.  Only after you say "send" does it go out the door.
