I think this is a useful change as I was caught out by the existing behavior recently when I quit send-email without sending any patches and the shell thought it exited successfully.
I'm not sure about this implementation though. If I send one patch and then quit it looks like it will still exit(0) as both $sent_any and $sent_all will be true. I think it would be better to count the number of patches sent and compare that to the total number of patches when calculating the exit code to use.
Best Wishes
