I don't use aquamacs, but on gnu emacs with linux kernel,
it just works.  That is if you type C-x m
you get a buffer named *mail*
If, before sending, you type C-x m again,
you get a buffer named *mail*<2> and the original is still there.

So you can work on both msgs before sending either.

Similarly for more than two messages.
