Default Top Tip: Delay Your Mail

It's not a bug in outlook- it's user error. This method is better than

adding "garbage" text to the To field so it can't resolve the text as an
address.


There *is* a bug in Outlook, where pasting a URL with CTRL+V sometimes
sends the message instead of pasting the link. I encountered this bug
frequently enough that I set up the 1 min delay rule. I subsequently
found it incredibly useful for other reasons than catching the bug -
hence posting it as a tip.

I think delay is better than adding garbage text to the to field - you
don't need to remember to do anything and it always works.
