If the sender does not want to send, then the sender should simply not send. 
If the sender does not want to send it, why is the sender even thinking about 
it? 

The sender will always have total control of sending;-)... 

What is so hard to understand about this?

Proposed general principle: mail-ng should enable, facilitate and make
efficient all message transfer in which the sender AND recipient wish to
participate. Conversely, it should prohibit or impede all message transfer in
which the sender OR recipient do not wish to participate. The system should
facilitate message transfer on terms which are acceptable to both
participants, or decline to transfer the message at all if no agreement as to
terms can be reached.

I like that formulation, as a goal.
