Transitory can be a long time, if the mails are queued or the computer is 
offline.
I really do feel much better if that mail is in a maildir that time.

Which reminds me: We also need an attribute for "send now" vs "send later", so 
that mail dispatcher does not immediately send queued message. Also, a D-Bus 
interface for the "send queued messages" action is probably needed then.
