I've looked a little closer at this problem. It happens with my mew
installation at home (mew 4.0.64/emacs 20.7.2) and at work (mew
4.0.65/emacs 20.7.1). 

It appears that the function call to get-process in
mew-draft-smtp-process-message does not return nil. If I do
(list-processes) I get:

Proc         Status   Buffer         Tty         Command
----         ------   ------         ---         -------
mew-smtp-info-smtp.home.gustad.com open +inbox (none) (network stream connection to smtp.home.gustad.com)

If I quit mew the process will disappear and I can send the message on
the next mew invocation.

Any idea how I can fix this annoying problem?

Best regards
