Unhappy

v 2003 and yes, the minimize btn is where it should be; it just doesn't work.

In another forum I've been told this is a problem when I use 'send to' in another program. Indeed, I use Windows 'send to recipient' daily. So, is there an add on or work around to defeat this MAPI problem? I did not have this problem in OE, and the more I use Outlook the more I miss the simplicity of OE.

Default can't minimize email during composition

I believe I answered this in the other forum - but for the benefit of
others, I'll update this thread also.

I use Windows 'send to recipient' daily.


See http://www.outlook-tips.net/archives/2007/20071221.htm for the steps
needed to create shortcuts to outlook in Window's Sendto folder - this will
fix the problem when sending from Windows Explorer. It wont help when using
the File, Send to menus in other applications.
