You don't want to hide the window until sendmail has completed
successfully, because if sendmail comes back with an error (e.g., "no
such host" or "no space left on device") you want to leave the window up
and let the user edit and resend.

As soon as you click send, all buttons and fields but cancel should gray
out.  See send_message() and run_sendmail() in main.c from
http://www.jwz.org/gsendmail/
