An anonymous poster on macOSXHints tells a sad story of button confusion. Wanting to delete a message that was too terrible to send, he or she hit the Send button instead of the red “close” bubble in the top left-hand corner of the Compose Message window.

The poster’s tip involves using the Customize Toolbar feature to move the Send button further to the right, away from the Close button.

Alternatively, getting in the habit of using “Command+W” (Close the current window) and “Command+Shift+D” (Send message) instead of the mouse should do the trick. Still a sad story though.
