I use git-send-email a lot, and I ask it to print out the list of all
emails once before confirming.  After confirming, I just switch back
to Emacs and continue work- in the many instances, I've never actually
needed to slow the process down.  If anything, I wished it could
concurrently send many emails and do things /faster/ *.   I'm a little
curious about why you want to slow it down- is your SMTP server
configured to block you because it suspects that you're trying to
spam?

Thanks.

* I first need to see if SMTP servers today can take in emails at this
speed without suspecting spam.
