Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Branch buildid:  2001060511win98

This feature is not yet turned on by default. Need to set it up in pref.js file 
to show the send progess dlg for now(see bug 28348).  when you are sending 
message and clicking on cancel does not stop sending.  This is on windows only. 
Mac and linux clicking cancel stopped from sending the message

steps to reporduce:
Add this in pref.js file user_pref("mailnews.show_send_progress", true);
-Start the application
-open mail 
-compose a message with big attachment ( so that you have time to cancel)
-click on send
-you will see the send progress dlg
-you will also see mail preparing the attachment to send 
-The status bar shows "Attaching....
-click on cancel button on the progress dlg

Actual result:  You cannot cancel the send operation at all. The message gets 
sent.  Copy to the sent folder will fail with a dlg.  
Expected:  Should cancel the send process.
