It feels better to be able to save an intermediate message that you don't
intend to send in exactly the same way that you save one that you DO intend
to send.  I means we don't have to re-implement all of APPEND.  Just create
a message on the server using whatever method you want to use, and then
send the SUBMIT command to send it.
