I was just about to post the identical request.

Usually, for big stuff, I remember to put [nosave] in the body, and thus keep
a record of sending the 50KB file.  But about 10% of my mail consists of "OK"
or "10:30" or "It's in /some/path/somewhere" and it would be great not to
have to go delete those.

How about "s" for send and "S" for send/don't keep?

(Also, I'll add a big "me too" for compressed folders.)
