FWIW I think it would be nice to see more to convince me _what_ is about 
to be sent. Most obvious would be the From field and all the full 
subjects including the --flags. A last review of the intro message could 
perhaps also be convenient - but I'm not sure about that one ...

(It would move in the direction of the -n option, but that is way too 
verbose for this purpose.)

Nice!

Have you considered if that change of behaviour is acceptable 
considering backward compatibility?

Anyway, I like that the prompt is on by default, but think it must be 
possible to disable it somehow. Perhaps a --noprompt option?
