I agree with Jim. I doubt the mailto association is with OE.
(FWIW I would use RegMon to compare the two cases.)

AFAIK there is no such thing as the latter in OE.
It looks to me more like a security or privacy option
which would be designed to prevent automated
E-mails from being sent without allowing them
to be inspected before being sent.
RegMon would probably show you that too.

I was commenting on the reply you gave Jim.
I found both posts confusing and the additional
information given inconsistent with the original
rather than supplementary.

I'm really not sure how Jim interpreted the first post
but obviously it had a different meaning for him too.
That's why I am suggesting you give him "a better
description of your symptoms."


Good luck

Robert
