| No, not the compose window... I know that's closed.  I mean
| whatever-pop-up
| "status" window in a proposed feedback mechanism.
|
| The issue is that for slow (high latency more than low bandwidth)
| uplinked
| users, they clink send, and see no response until the mailout succeeds or
| fails with a status code, and THEN there's some visual sign of life.

In HEAD, if javascript is available, the send/save/cancel buttons are
automatically disabled once they are clicked.  So this helps prevent
multiple submissions.
