I will agree with anyone who makes a logical argument, where I'm agreeing
with both s|b and Carlos in this case, where I think it's a useful feature.

You're the one SENDING the text.
Why can't YOU edit it (for a short while).

We've had this in Google Mail for many years now, haven't we?
It's useful. Very useful.

Of course, if the other person already RECEIVED (and read) the message, and
perhaps even started RESPONDING to that message, then we may have an issue.

But I'd rather fix a typo any day of the weak...
.... week...
