| 1217115 | 2011-07-15 09:48:00 | Lately I find my half finished emails suddenly taking off and delivering themselves without my permission. I have managed to trace it down to using the enter key. If I hit "enter" off the thing goes - is no longer a draft - but is in my SENT listing. Well I use the enter key a lot in my normal work and I'm sure this has never happened before until recently. Trying to write an email without using the enter key I find just about impossible. I use "Outlook Express" and have done for years with no problems. I have looked for some option to control this with no success. Its irritating having to send my emails off in bits! Anybody able to help me? |

(Swear at Bill Gate$ and that Moron Balmee he left minding the store if that helps.) | R2x1 (4628) | ||

| 1217119 | 2011-07-15 10:49:00 | Sounds like the Ctrl key is sticking or something, and it's leading to a Ctrl+Enter. | inphinity (7274) | ||
| 1217120 | 2011-07-15 12:12:00 | Sounds like the Ctrl key is sticking or something, and it's leading to a Ctrl+Enter. This. CTRL+Enter is the standard shortcut to send the current message. :pf1mobmini: |

| 1217122 | 2011-07-16 04:02:00 | Looks like you have OE set to send/receive automatically. Check the setting options. I have checked my Ctrl key - no problem there. So now to try the enclosed. But where is OE - I cannot find it or anything that has "send receive automatically" I am now turning my modem off while typing which works of course but still Outlook Express saves to the OUTBOX file not Draft. |
