When I close an unsent message in Outlook, Word editor automatically asks if
I want to save the "changes", meaning the message - into a draft folder. How
can I stop this pop-up? In other words, If I haven't saved the changes, they
would automatically NOT save upon closing the message.
 
No, even Outlook will ask this to make sure you want to keep the draft. If
you don't want to save the message, click NO.
 
Mary, - I'm just venting right below - see the last line in this message
first!

Well that stinks. I can't believe Outlook doesn't have a setting of whetder
to ask that or not - or at least it should have the "don't show this message
again" checkbox on the pop-up.

We have a web application that has an e-mail capability & upon sending the
e-mail from the app, the user's specific Outlook client is invoked. The new
message then drops into the user's draft folder & based on some VB script in
the user's Outlook client - the message will "pop" open from within the
folder. We do this because before the message is launched to the recipient,
we have macros embedded in the user's outlook client that the user then runs
- the macro scans the body of the message & based on what it finds attaches
file(s) from a repository. Problem is, since it has to intially populate in
the draft folder, it asks that "do you want to save changes" question if the
user wants to close the draft & come back to the message later instead of
immediately dealing with it. I know it sounds minor to just click "No", but
we do a lot of e-mails & it's ridiculous not to be able to control that.

But that has nothing to do with you! I appreciate you taking your time to
answer, Thank you!!!
