Default OE sending blank response posts to a newsgroup when reading

Hello,

Someone I know is having the problem that when he just *reads* messages on a
newsgroup, when closing each message (X close box), OE automatically sends a
response to the group, which shows up on the group as a blank reply (the
original content of the message being included, but nothing else). Never
heard of this problem, anyone else got any clues?

Thx, --Mitch

Default OE sending blank response posts to a newsgroup when reading

I've never heard of that either.

To accomplish that, he'd have to do a Reply Group (Ctrl+G) and then a
Send (Alt+S).

Apparently he is not reading in the Preview Pane (View, Layout). If he
were, he wouldn't need to click the X to close the message, he would
just click on the next message in the list of messages to have that
message appear in the preview pane.

To open a message in it's own window, he would double click the message
in the list of messages.

I wonder if instead of that he is click the Reply Group button (or
Ctrl+G). That would open the message for a reply. He could still read
the message in that mode.

Possibly he has set up some key board macros that might be doing that.

I suspect that if he just reads the messages in the Preview Pane, he
won't have a problem.

Additionally, if in Tools, Options, Send he uncheck the Send Immediately
and Tools, Options, General, he uncheck check for new messages every xx
minutes, any accidentally sent posts will go to his Outbox and stay
there. He can then select the Outbox and delete the unwanted posts
after reading. Then he can use the Send and Receive button to send any
good stuff.
