message-dont-send docstring non fulfilling

[Dan Jacobson]

   C-c C-d runs the command message-dont-send

   Don't send the message you have been editing.

That's a rather sportive explanation but I think more needs to be
said, e.g. why and when one would use it.  It doesn't seem to be in
Info either.

In what mode is that command on C-c C-d?
That is not the case in Mail mode--it uses
this command only for a menu item.

Upon sending a message, it disappeared from the screen as usual, but I
did not hear the KaChunk from the hard disk as I do usually.  So I dug
around for the message buffer, still around, hmmm, and did C-h l to
see what I had typed.  It said I had typed C-c C-d instead of the
usual C-c C-c.   So to learn more about what C-c C-d had done to my
message and what state it was in now, I did C-h k C-c C-d, but did not
think adequate info was provided there to feel confident about how to
proceed.  (Apparently one just continues on editing and sends with C-c
C-c from that point.)
