Hi,

Is there a feature in Outlook XP that when you hit SEND,
it will ask you "Are you sure you want to send this e-
mail?".

Our old e-mail system had this capability and sometimes
it's nice, in case you hit the SEND button by mistake.

I know that if there is a misspelled word and you hit
CANCEL from within the spell-check, it will give you a
message, "Spell check has been cancelled. Send anyways?"

Thank you!
 
Outlook doesn't have that, but it's easy enough to add with a small amount of VBA code. See http://www.slipstick.com/dev/vb.htm for basics. This code would do what you want:

Private Sub Application_ItemSend(ByVal Item As Object, Cancel As Boolean)
Dim intRes As Integer
Dim strMsg As String
strMsg = "Do you really want to send this message?"
intRes = MsgBox(strMsg, vbYesNo + vbDefaultButton1, "Confirm Send")
If intRes = vbNo Then
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub
