Didn't discover resend until last year. Woa was I foolish. Didn't even
know it with my client nor that it was something one could do.

Users will always click on the "expert" feature. No one walks around
saying, "Hi, I'm a newbie. I don't know what the hell I'm doing. Please
software, don't give me the other options that are grayed out in the menus
and preference boxes because I'm a twit who just doesn't get it." Really. 

One of the most annoying UI elements is a grayed out checkbox/menu item.
It's like a huge taunt. Nyah nyah. You can't turn me on.
