All computers you use? Or is this referring to the other instances you
found?

Yes, I meant that these were three PCs used by me. I found a handful
of links to reports by others, if not so informative; I've pasted them
into a response below.

When it happens to very few people while working correctly for 100's, it is
something with the system - possibly a driver or utility installed by the
vendor - not a bug in Outlook. You say your system is very clean - what all
is installed besides office?

What computer model do you use? did any of the others who had this problem
mention their computer model?

I'll see later today if I can find some common links between the two
guilty PCs I can currently access (home and work).

Thank you, by the way, for your responses.

"what addins are installed? do you have any tweak or keyboard
remappers
installed? "

None, and no. I wish it were that simple. And actually, this has
happened on at least three different PCs, including my (very clean)
computer at work.

"In addition, what software do you have on the system that might
capture key strokes?"

None.

"Do you ever try the menu to paste, or are you always using the
keyboard shortcut?"

As far as I can recall, this has happened only with the CTRL-V
shortcut.

Like I say, there are other reports of this behavior floating around
out there, and most of these users are baffled just like me --
reporting that there's no errant typing, no apparent software
conflicts, that it happens only every so often, etc.

I've tried to figure out a pattern. Like crazy I've tried, down to
scribbling down every action I can recall prior to the paste/send. But
it never matches up into a discernable pattern.

I can type a bit into the body of the e-mail, go to my browser, copy
10 paragraphs, paste, and BOOM. I can type a bit, copy two words from
a Notepad file, paste, BOOM. I can have an empty draft, copy whatever,
paste, BOOM. It can be the first e-mail of the day, or the 50th. It
can be with my cheapo Office Depot keyboard at home, or my MS Comfort
Curve keyboard at work. None of it seems to matter.

Every so often, with no discernible rhyme or reason, pasting text
into a message body using the CTRL-V function will immediately send
the e- mail (without even pasting the text). No, I'm not
accidentally hitting CTRL-ENTER, and no, I'm not hitting any other
keys along the way. This is simply a matter of having an e-mail open
(with an address in the address field), hitting CTRL-V in the body
to paste something from the clipboard (a URL, some plain text,
doesn't seem to matter what), and having the e-mail zapped from my
screen and get sent.

what addins are installed? do you have any tweak or keyboard remappers
installed?

In addition, what software do you have on the system that might capture
key
strokes? If it was an add-in, I'd expect it to happen every time you hit
control-v, but it sounds like you might run a different piece of software
that occasionally jumps in and reads the control-v and sends a
control-enter.

Do you ever try the menu to paste, or are you always using the keyboard
shortcut?

And, if you can train yourself, just start putting something completely
un-resolvable (I used to put in xyzzyxyzzyxyzzy) into the CC line. IIRC,
pop3/imap in OL won't just try to send it, but you'll want to verify that
just to be sure.
