Despite finding several references to placing an address-less note in
the Outbox or defining a non-existant POP server account and putting
an email addressed to that account in the Outbox, I've not be able to
get either to work with Outlook 2007.

If anyone has gotten one of these (or another technique) to work and
is willing to be very explicit on how they did it, I'd be most
appreciative. For several reasons, the use of the commercial add-in
that does this sort of thing isn't an option for me.

Thanks in advance...

Well, telling everyone would take the fun out of asking, wouldn't
it? : ) : ) : )

Sorry for being less than clear. The issue is that sometimes a person
will accidently click the X close button on the main Outlook window
instead of on a message window and then gets to sit while Outlook does
all the normal wind-down operations - and then gets to restart Outlook
and wait for it to come back up.

In Outlook 2003, a note could be created without an addressee, saved
to Drafts and then dragged to the Outbox. Then, when Outlook was
closed - accidentally or deliberately - a nice little pop-up window
would appear, giving notice that there was an unsent note in the
Outbox and giving the user the option to cancel closing Outlook or to
go ahead and close it - and the form had a nice little 30 second count-
down that would go ahead and close at the end of that time.

So, what I've been asked by some users to do is to provide the same
functionality in Outlook 2007, but I'm not at all that familiar with
Outlook (more of an Excel guy - well, actually more of a 3 XL, but
that's another issue and don't know why the old method is not
working for me, if it won't work at all under Outlook 2007 or if there
is some other way that will work in Outlook 2007.

Thanks for letting me know that the problem wasn't well-specified...
