Thanks for pointing that out.  But I still vote for a Cancel button, or the
ability to just close the window without creating an event, if there is no
data entered.

Note that Entourage is not consistent about this matter.  If I open a new
outgoing email message window, I can start typing an address, change my
mind, erase the address, and close the window without creating a draft
message.  If I leave message text in the window and hit the close box before
sending, a dialog appears asking me if I want to save.  I can choose "Don't
Save" if I desire.  This is the way it should be throughout Entourage, and
it is a behavior familiar to Mac users.

I usually run Entourage with toolbars suppressed ("View > Toolbars"
unchecked).  Apparently this option was added as an afterthought, or not
properly tested.  Various UI elements that should always be available (like
that cancel button disguised as a trashcan) are hidden if Toolbars are not
enabled.  There are also various windows that do not draw correctly, with
buttons missing, when Toolbars are disabled (something I reported several
updates ago).
