I could actually see myself using revoke mail, but more on desktop than iPhone. I remember back in the pre-wifi era, I would sometimes realize I forgot something in an email and quickly yank you my ethernet cable. I've tried doing the modern version of this (turn of wifi), but I have never been able to get to it in time. Perhaps I should make a function key that turns off wifi (or force-quits Mail?).

Plug the router out?

It's very far away! I suppose the fastest thing I could do is sleep my computer, and then turn off the router before waking it back up. But I don't know if a sleep command will interrupt the process of sending a mail message. I suspect it would if a large upload was involved, but I have my doubts about a smaller message.

Maybe use a hotkey to tell a smart plug to power off? You wouldn't be able to use that to turn it back on with your router being disconnected but that can be done by hand.
