The UI cannot be blamed for user errors.

What you're describing either requires confirmation or is recoverable
anyway. Closing an e-mail without sending it requires confirmation unless
it has already been (auto-)saved in the drafts folder (this is specific to
sylpheed). If all the text in your mail disappears then successive uses of
Ctrl-Z will step back through the changes made until you get your text
back (this is common to all GTK applications so you really should know it).

So do I have a mouse. However, some things are easier with the keyboard.
For example, just hitting Ctrl-Alt-S to sign a mail and then Ctrl-Enter to
send it instead of having to reach for the mouse...

Each unto his/her own, of course.
