Well duh -- auto-generated email does not, by definition, have a GUI,
so this doesn't even apply.

"Queue to outbox then send later" is very useful for offline usage.
Making it policy that evolution *only* supports that model of operation
would be idiotic.  When I hit send, I want it sent Right Fucking Now,
and if there are problems, I want to correct them and move on before the
window goes away.
