I was mostly worried about ^C leaving the terminal in a funny
state with your system(stty).

I do not think you should lose the message the user carefully
composed using an editor upon seeing ^C.  The user may start to
compose, edit the message, and then at some later time decide to
stop the mail-sending procedure by ^C-ing out.  The user would
thank you if you somehow left an escape hatch to allow salvaging
the message, instead of having it to be re-typed from scratch.
