Would a hashcash plugin do the stamping as a background task, transparently?
- Or do we need to invoke a dialog and make it foreground? (imo hashcash
stamping should be as transparent as possible, in fact the only thing the
user should see is a checkbox on the thunderbird preferences screen to
enable it, and perhaps a 'number of bits' textbox value)
Anyway, here are a couple of links;

Here's one called the 'send later' extension, it allows you to schedule
outgoing emails to be sent later. I think it's relevant as it uses a method
of moving the email to drafts, then monitors the drafts folder until a
certain time, and then moves it to outbox.

Uses js to intercept the outgoing email and insert headers.
