305582 - missing cancel message sending possibility when send progress dialog is not used

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 320180

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Tobias Sager]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

When not using the default (see bug 218557) send progress dialog it is not
possible to cancel the sending of a message without loosing that message.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Disable send progress dialog: user_pref("mailnews.show_send_progress", false);
2. Block outgoing SMTP traffic to have a long delay when sending message
3. Compose new message, press "Send"
Actual Results:  
Message window tries to send and waits for SMTP timeout. There is no possibility
to cancel the sending except for closing the window upon which the dialog "Mail
is currently in the process of sending a message." with "Quit" (leave and
_loose_ message) and "Wait" (for long SMTP timeout) button.

Expected Results:  
Message window tries to connect and wait for SMTP timeout. After pressing Alt-F4
the dialog pops up: "Mail is currently in the process of sending a message."
Dialog has three buttons: "Quit message" (leave and loose message), "Wait" (wait
for SMTP timeout) and "Cancel sending" (only cancel sending and go back to
editing mode).

Isn't this an RFE, rather than a bug?

Couln't decide between major (dataloss as I loose my message, when clicking
Quit) and enhancement (can wait for the timeout (which somehow though is
freakin' long)), so I settled for normal as compromise..

Duping this to a bug that I thought described the problem better -- which is flagged 'dataloss'.
