Auto-send on wake-up?

Title: Auto-send on wake-up?

Folks:

Entourage 2004 11.1.0  MacOS 10.3.8.

Here's the scenario: During an evening, I highlight an incoming email, hit reply, and begin composing.  It's a long message and my reply is lengthy.  Hmmm, I'm just not going to get this response completed tonight.

So I "sleep" the machine, intending to complete the reply the next day.

Early next morning, I stumble in and check my incoming email.  No open message visible.  Later I  get an email from my correspondent: Why did you send me an incomplete response?

Sure enough, "Sent items" shows the incomplete message was transmitted at just about the time I woke up my machine to check my mail.  The only Entourage actions I did at that time was to press "send and receive".  I also switched to a browser, and came back to Entourage.

I've never seen anything other than hitting "send now" that would result in the transmission of an open message.   I'm pretty sure I did NOT hit this button, or choose one of its pulldown equivalents or a shortcut to one of them.

Clearly, the safest method is to save the outgoing message as a draft before sleeping the machine -- should be no danger of sending one of those, and it is a reasonable precaution not to leave documents open. But these steps should not be necessary.

What would account for apparent "auto-send on wakeup"?  Something like an Apple Event for "send now" being sent from the system to Entourage?  How would I confirm or disprove such?

Thanks,

Henry
