DM: On the other hand, it could be handy to have the focus on the
'Cancel' button in cases where the 'send' processing time is relatively
rapid and you've: 1) sent an email accidently; or (more likely) 2) just
after you've sent it, you realize there is some reason why you didn't
want to send it. I know there have been multiple times (on a reasonably
periodic basis) when I have been quite glad that all I had to do was
hit the 'Enter' key in order to stop the 'send' process. (I don't
recall too many times of doing this by accident, and of the times I
did, I don't recall being too bothered by simply initiating the 'send'
process again.) For this issue, I'm guessing there isn't a clear
'one-size-fits-all' solution, but I know I would vote to keep it 'as
is' for my current usage. Cheers, ---Dustin
