When emailing the url from an IE7 opened web page using the "Send To", the
page cannot be dismissed or even scrolled until.the email is send or saved.
I have observed this behavor for some time and it is irritating but I am
used to it (outlook 2003).

I just discovered that if I am sent a calendar event that required
acknowledgement, and that event occurs when I am in the middle of sending
out that above mentioned email, I CANNOT send the email unless I first
dismiss the calender event. A problem arises when that stupid calendar
event popup is behind that email form. It cannot easily be brought to the
front to allow dismissing and the form it is behind (THAT STUPID EMAIL FORM)
no longer accepts keyboard or mouse messages which makes it difficult to
move out of the way.

Anyway, this seems to be a bug and I wonder if the outlook gods
occassionally read this forum and can talk to microsoft about fixing it.

Sorry for my rant and I did figure out a way to clear the desktop and bring
up that stupid calendar event to dismiss so I could continue on with my
life.

Because of the way the browsers and other applications call up the new
message form, it's modal and needs to be dealt with before you can use
outlook.
