I want a confirmation prompt after clicking "Send"

When sending an email using the keyboard shortcut, the settings tell me that I can set TB to give me a confirmation prompt. Why can't I get a confirmation prompt when using the Send button? Is there any way to make TB do that?

I set TB to run a spell check before sending, and that gives me an opportunity to cancel the Send operation. But it only works if the email contains a misspelling.

Thank you.

Are you talking about the send later shortcut perhaps?

Send now is Ctrl+Enter and send later is Ctrl+Shift+Enter

There is no button for send later as such, but send becomes a send later button if you place Thunderbird in offline mode. (click the ((0)) at the bottom of the main screen on the left.)

No, I'm just talking about the Send button in the upper-left corner of the Write window, which causes the email to be sent immediately. I sometimes click it by accident. Once I do, I can't stop it from going. In fact, this is such a huge problem that with important emails, I add an X to the address so that the email won't go if I accidentally click on it, as follows: abcdefg.comx

It seems reasonable that I should be able to confirm the sending of an email, but the program doesn't seem to have such an option.
