Nope, "Sending a message via (fake) SMTP", around 2011-05 to be exact [1].

My main intention was to get a bugfix [2] applied (still isn't BTW),
which might have been expedited by providing a test which checks
whether messages are properly tagged 'replied' when and *only* when
applicable, and for that I needed a quick way to test replying to a
thread, so I lazily repurposed an existing test.  Not much point in
reinventing the wheel, is there?

Still haven't gotten around to writing the actual test to demonstrate
that messages are tagged 'replied' prematurely, but this should be the
gist of it:

  #+begin_src emacs-lisp
    ;; ask for confirmation (using `y-or-n-p') before sending
    (let ((message-confirm-send t))
      ;; temporarily redefine `y-or-n-p', immediately returns nil
      (flet ((y-or-n-p (&rest args) nil))
        ;; then try to send message (which will fail)
        (message-send-and-exit)))

    ;; Parent message should NOT be tagged 'replied' now, yet it is,
    ;; since `notmuch-message-mark-replied' is added to `message-send-hook'
    ;; instead of `message-sent-hook'.
  #+end_src

That would be *much* better, indeed.

OK.  I'll mark this patch (and the next, which depends on it) as 'wip',
and pick them up again when your refactoring efforts hit mainline.
