[PATCH RFC 06/10] send-email: References: should only reference what is actually sent

[Michael Witten <mfwitten@gmail.com>]

If someone responded with a negative (n|no) to the confirmation,
then the Message-ID of the discarded email is no longer used
in the References: header of subsequent emails.

Consequently, send_message() now returns 1 if the message was
sent and 0 otherwise.
