[mew-int 2902] Mail not sent if emacs quitted right after "^c^cy"

Hi All,

I've been bitten by this issue so many times.  If I quit emacs (by ^x^c) right after sending a mail by Mew (by ^c^c, followed by y), the mail will not actually be sent.  Attached below is a message in the syslog I get when that happens:

Aug 15 12:34:56 *** sendmail[*****]: [ID ****** mail.warning] **************: collect: premature EOM: unexpected close
Aug 15 12:34:56 *** sendmail[*****]: [ID ****** mail.notice] **************: collect: unexpected close on connection from localhost, sender=<***@***.***.***.***>

I am using Mew 7.0.50 with emacs 23.2 on SunOS 5.10.  I admit that my workstation is very, very slow, and I think I know that I am terminating a process in the middle when a message is being sent, but shouldn't that happen in the background and detached state?

Thanks!!!
