When composing an email message to send, if I minimize it to gather more information, it disappears before I can send it. It does not get sent, it just disappears. I have checked the sent folder to see if it is sent but it is gone, not in drafts either. Not sure how to fix this but it is aggravating.

What email do you use? Yahoo, Aol, MSN? I use Yahoo and mine doesn't do that.

Sorry too early in the morning, I am using Outlook 2003.

Are you minimising the client or simply the reply box ?
Have you got "hide when minimised" selected ?

I am minimizing just the reply or the message that I am composing. It just started doing this about two weeks ago, and I haven't chenged any settings. Where do you check for hide when minimize?
