how do you inadvertently send messages that were supposed to be sent but worked and sent? Isn’t that the desired 
outcome?

I run mailing lists.  I’ve had times where I find something stuck in the system and instead of just deleting it, I 
actually try to make sure it goes out based on the original intent.  This has resulted in me sending out e-mails a year 
or two later at times.
