[ZendTo] Re: Idea

[Sergio Rabellino]

Pressing the back-button after a dropoff cause a "resend data" request 
to the user: if he tells "yes", the same file/message is sent again and 
two equal dropoff are stored. I'm not against the reuse of the auth as 
an absolute requisite, you convince me, but i feel it more robust if i 
can't do the same operation twice.

bye.
