[PATCH v2] send-email: prompt-dependent exit codes

From
Oswald Buddenhagen <oswald.buddenhagen@gmx.de>
Date
Apr 26, 2023, 06:16 UTC
Message-ID
<20230426061606.1495646-1-oswald.buddenhagen@gmx.de>

From the perspective of the caller, failure to send (some) mails is an error even if it was interactively requested, so it should be indicated by the exit code.

To make it somewhat specific, the exit code is 10 when only some mails were skipped, and 11 if the user quit on the first prompt.

v2:
- fix do_quit() not resetting $sent_all
