Please consider adding a "send now" option as a future design feature for Mass Emails that are in cue.

Hiya Michael Schmidt, thanks for this post! I have a few more questions for you:
- Can you provide more context on how often you would use the 'send now' feature for mass emails?
- Are there specific scenarios where the 'send now' feature would be particularly useful?
- Would you like this feature to override any scheduled send times for the mass emails in queue?

1) I do not think I would use it for every Mass Email, but it would be useful to have the option, when you decide you would like to send something out early, so you don't have the re-do the whole Mass Email again and wait for approval.
2) This week, for example, I have a slow week, and I would like to send out my promotion a day early to stimulate business. The Mass Email is scheduled for tomorrow, and it's already been approved, but I just wanted to send it out this morning, without having to wait.
3) Yes, that would be the point. "Send now" for scheduled and approved emails that you want to send earlier than the scheduled time.
4) Now that you mention it, maybe having the option to change the date would also be a good idea, as a second improved feature request.
