Have you ever accidentally sent an email message?

Have you ever clicked "Deliver" and immediately wished you could get the message back?

Well, if you have the Mail.app from NeXTStep 3.3, you now have one more tool.  This program is a simple /bin/sh script (what else did you expect from me?) that you use as the Mailer (under Expert preferences).

When you "Deliver" the message, this script steps in and give you a warning panel:

	- Deliver the message
	- Cancel the message (it just goes away)

(and, using the Mail.app 3.3)
	- Return the message to me	

This is also a way to catch read receipts.

The Subject of the message will appear in the top of the Alert panel, and the recipients list will appear in the middle of the Alert panel.

NOTE: for this package to work you have to have the Alert binary from this package:

	1) the "Return to me" does not work with the Mail.app in 3.2
	2) addresses must have an "@" in them
