I need SSL in newsfeeds (RSS) ... this should not be that hard to implement?

Hi,
Make the sending messages a shoot and forget method - Outlook like
As you can see there are plugins that allow you to not show the 'Sending message' box when you send a message BUT the actual message window remains. I think that the Outlook method is more clean. In our case: when you hit send, move the message into 'unsent messages' folder and after that initiate a 'Send unsent messages' action (shoot and forget).
Sometimes when I send several big e-mails I just get 2-3 simultaneous connections to the SMTP server and all go slow. Maybe a 'Send unsent messages every X minutes' feature would be great and not hard to implement.
