Not as of now.  This is intentional to prevent abuses of the compose  
sending process.

And I don't really see any need to add this functionality to the  
compose pages.  it might be useful to add an externally-accessible  
service that allows mail to be sent via the IMP mailer configuration.   
But this would be an independent action ... and also doesn't currently  
exist.
