- Cancel - Cancels sending the message, allowing you to make any necessary changes.
Attachment Warning #
If you have used any number of a configurable set of words (defaulted to "Attach" and "I've included") within the body of your message, but have not included an attachment, the application will confirm you want to proceed and allow you to cancel sending the email.
- Yes - Continues with Sending Message
