Allow failed emails to queue from send_emails.aspx

I really like the queued emails functionality and I'm hoping it alleviates some of the issues I've been having (due to our funky email setup emails randomly fail). I see an email queued up from when I changed a status on an issue but I noticed that an email was not queued up when I failed to send an email directly to a user on an issue. Can failed emails from this screen also be queued up? Also, how often does the email try to send again, its been 15 minutes since the first retry.
Thanks,
Jeff
My thinking is, for emails that you send by hand, the app tells you immediately whether they failed or not, so why put them in a queue?
The reason for queueing the others is time. Let's say there are 20 people who are subscribed to notifications for a given bug. When you change that bug, you don't have to wait for all 20 of those emails to be sent before the app tells you your update is done. You want to be told right away.
The trigger for a resend is the next time somebody updates a bug that triggers the notification process. So, it's event based, not time based.
I understand. In my case since emails will fail one minute but work fine the next, the functionality also mostly resolves my issue. Since a majority of emails are sent when statuses change and not emailing someone directly it still does help. Feel free to close if you want.
