File-Send To-Mail-Recipient Stores Unsent Message in InBox not Sent

[marchristensen]

If I go to Word or Excel and create a file and do:
File
Sent To
Recipient
Either from the File menu in the application or right clicking on the file name in Explorer, the file becomes an attachment in an Outlook e-mail.

If I want to save that e-mail and not send it at the current time, the saved e-mail goes into my InBox folder and not into my Draft folder, where I would expect it to go.

Does any one know how I can force the message to go into my Draft folder?

Final plea . . .

I'm sorry I don't know anyone that sends files that way. You might get more responses if you include what O/S version you're running, and what version of Outlook/Office you are running.

Thanks for the answer. OS is XP Pro. We have the same problem with Outlook 2000 & Outlook 2003. Seems to be an unaddressed bug.
