I have been inadvertently sending incomplete emails to
folks while in the process of composing them (for years).

Finally got sick of looking stupid.

I don't think I can change the way I type, so I'd rather
just eliminate the "mail send" shortcut, which I don't
use anyway.

Any suggestions on how to 86 the shortcut for "mail send"
or otherwise stop the problem?

Thanks

these newsgroups:

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups). The links under the newsgroup
references are for use with MS's web newsreader (not exactly the best way to
post but it works for some people)

Also a good source of Outlook Express info can be found here:

Been there, done that, got a patent on the process. You owe me loads o'cash
in back-royalties!

Wait till your message is complete before addressing it. Yeah, that sucks
as a workaround (especially when you're replying) but it's all I've found.

Why, oh why would Ctrl+Enter send a message in Outlook but insert a carriage
return in Messenger?
