Vista - Hit Reply and mail sends without reply

Suddenly things have gone crazy in my email--when I click on an email it automatically opens--when I hit reply before allowing me to reply it sends the mail out.
I have to hit forward in order to be able to reply. Hope someone can help.

Sounds like a mouse problem. Use the keyboard instead.


Set Work Offline (JIC); e.g. press Alt-F,W. Then press Ctrl-r

Another thing to watch out for if you are still getting an automatic send
is to check if a Ctrl- key is sticking. E.g. in that case as soon as you
press Enter the message would be sent. All of MS mail clients have
a little known "feechur" that pressing Ctrl-Enter does a Send.
So if a Ctrl- key is sticking you could send one simply by pressing Enter
in an initial editing step. Note: a stuck Ctrl- key is usually only stuck
in the OS's understanding. To unstick it you need to press and release
the *other* Ctrl- key.

Thank you for your reply--however I have tried your suggestion and checked the control key and neither solved the problem.

The problem with emails going out before I can reply is getting worse and now when I click an email in order to delete--it opens really fast and I have to repeatedly close it in order to try to delete.
Would I be better off going back to outlook?

Hi, Embrace.

I've read just about every message in this live.mail.desktop newsgroup for
the past 2+ years and I've never seen another user report this problem.
Which makes me believe that the problem must be unique to your computer.

I suppose there could be a software explanation, but it sounds to me like a
hardware problem. As Robert said, the first guess would be the mouse; the
second thought would be a sticking key - but you've checked out both of
those.

The next link in the chain might be the drivers for the mouse and keyboard.
You haven't told us anything about your hardware yet. What is the make and
model of your computer (or the motherboard/CPU/BIOS if you built it
yourself)? What about your mouse and keyboard?
If it doesn't happen in Outlook, then maybe the problem IS in software,
after all. It might help to uninstall WLM and install it again - maybe even
re-download it from http://download.live.com to be sure that you didn't get
a garbled download.

There could be other factors in your environment, such as strong RF
interference from a TV or other electrical equipment nearby...but now I'm
clutching at straws so I'll quit stabbing in the dark (and mixing
metaphors). Do you have a geeky friend who can look over your shoulder and
help you with some trial and error testing of your system?

If the message left the Outbox while you had Work Offline set
you must have incorrect settings on your General tab.
Try unchecking everything in the Send/Receive Messages section.


That sounds like your mouse is giving a doubleclick indication
when you only want a single click. Try using right-click and
press Esc instead then to avoid that problem.

Sounds like you would be better off using your keyboard
instead of your mouse. <eg>
