Start a reply, close without saving, icon still changes to replied

Hello all,

I have an issue that sometimes I start a reply to an email but sort out the
issue before I hit the send button. I therefore close the message and click
no to save. However, even after not saving, the message icon against the
original in my inbox has already changed to replied.

As I receive hundreds of emails, sometimes I forget I didn't send the reply
but my inbox shows otherwise.

Is this a bug?

Thanks in anticipation

Outlook Version??? You might have your options set to Automatically Save
Unsent Items in Tools, Options, Email Options.
 
outlook 2003 - yes this option is set. I will remove and test.

Thanks, I will let you know
 
Ok, to clarify, when the option to "automatically save unsent items" is on,
the following occurs:

reply to message, close before the 3 mins auto save happens, no reply icon
on original message OR
reply to message, close after the 3 mins auto save, reply icon is displayed
(NB, a dialogue to save pops up, so this happens ever if you choose NO to
save unsent message)

Therefore, this clarifies what happens and I have removed the option
however, I still think it would be better if the reply icon is only displayed
when/if the message is actually sent.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
