When user increments day of month past the end of the month, month should increment #12

In the date picker, if the user increments the day of the month past the end of the month, then the month should increment. E.g., currently displayed date is October 31, user increments day to 1, month should change to November. And, of course, if the previous month was December than the year should increment as well.

As a workaround or even a feature, would it be possible to display a message window if the send date is earlier than the current date? After all it is called "send later". So "send earlier" does not make much sense, as I can just send immediately without any add-on . The cancel" button would bring me back to main dialog. There are other options for repeated sending after a provided schedule. Maybe here it can make sense to have an earlier send date and the dialog is not appropriate. However, I have never used any repeated send option and would be happy to be reminded if I chose a send date in the past.

There is already a preference for this.

Yes, setting Don’t deliver messages more than # minutes late does the trick. It took me while to figure this out. Of, course reading the documentation really helps. ;) Maybe a candidate for a FAQ:

Q: How do I prevent sending a message (accidentally) scheduled for a past date?

A: Setting Don’t deliver messages more than # minutes late in the preferences shows you a warning message about this mail instead of sending it immediately.
