[mso] A feature I might like

On more than one occasion (not frequently, but more than once), I have
accidentally sent an email I was not ready to send.
Sometimes it is clicking the send button accidentally. Other times it is
Ctrl-S inadvertently keyed (usually because my left hand doesn't get off
the Ctrl key fast enough.)
Here is the feature I might like
an OPTION
user selectable, either as the default or on a message by message basis
to enable a "send safety"
The "send safety" would require two actions to trigger a send instead of
just one.
Today, I implement the Send Safety my own way, either (a) not providing
an email address to send to until I am done or (b) composing the email
outside of Outlook. I have also contemplated a more "global" "Send
Safety" I could implement by making my default account one that does not
work, which would require that I first select a valid account and then
send.
I post it here because I'm curious about two things.
1. Has anyone else ever experienced the dreaded "premature sending"?
and
2. What does the group think about a "send safety" as a concept?
