Every now and again when I send mail it hangs Emacs for 1-2.5 minutes. Since it happens infrequently I'm assuming it's just my smtp server. I don't mind this normally as I don't send out all that much mail and when I do, since I'm in mail-mode (figuratively), it's not a distraction. But if I'm busy working on something and hit a function that's considered dated, it would be extremely aggravating to have everything hang while it mailed some usage info on the func I just hit. Having it prompt and ask me if it was ok to send the mail would only be slightly less annoying. Just this user's opinion.
