The e-mail queue reminds me of my days at the college radio station, where the output of the broadcast booth passed through a 5-second delay before going out to the transmitter. That way, if something "bad" happened (f'rinstance, a caller dropped the f-bomb), you could dump the delay before it went out over the airwaves. Thinking about it more, I'm a little surprised that this hasn't made its way into standard e-mail clients, at least as a feature.
