Thank you very much for the response.

I was on thunderbird which crashed every few minutes. This is why I moved to claws.
Once I started using claws I realized that this is the best client on linux ! Even if thunderbird became stable again - I'm not going back !

I used the send-later plugin on TB as well as outlook (my work email) and it is super useful - if you ever send an email accidentally too early, or a minute after sending you want to edit something - it's too late :( This functionality saves you from embarrassment or worse.

For now I'm thinking of reprogramming the ctrl-enter to something more difficult (perhaps ctrl-alt-shift-enter) just to avoid mistakes. Then ctrl-enter can become send-later which gives me the option of correcting before sending.

Yes, definitely a feature request.
Is this forum the correct place to make this request ?
