fax by email: sends all in queue?

Can anyone try and test this on either version of PMMail?

Disconnect from the Internet, queue a message, reconnect to the
Internet then send a Fax by email. Are both messages sent (none left
in the Outbox)? Or is just the Fax-email sent, leaving the queued
message in the Outbox?

On my system, PMMSEND.EXE (which is what PMfax uses to send a 'fax by
email') seems to clear out the Outbox.

However, if I uncheck "send immediately", queue a message, recheck
"send immediately", create and send another message, the first queued
message is NOT sent. It stays in the Outbox until I explicitly send
it.

The clearing of the Outbox only seems to happen if PMMSEND.EXE is
used to send.

(Ironically, I discovered all this because a person has reported that
the exact opposite occurs for him with PMMSEND.EXE. For him, it
operates consistently with the other scenario I described,
PMMSEND.EXE only sends the message it is working on, not the others
queued in the Outbox.)
