Title: Re: E-mail to dock
Ding.  That’s the prize.  I had this happen to me the other day and was pulling my hair out trying to figure out what the hell the problem was.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Navigate to a folder that has 10 or so messages in it.
  2. Starting with the SECOND message in the list, double-click each message to open into a new window.
  3. Note that each window opens a little farther down on the screen to keep the titles visible.
  4. After each message opens, look at where the window’s title bar appears relative to that first item you didn’t open.
  5. When it’s clear that the next item will open with the title bar aligned with that first message, double-click the first message
  6. Assuming that the mouse falls within the window’s title bar when it opens, the window will instantly minimize into the dock.
  7. Bonus irritation points: double-click the same message again.  It will un-minimize, open right in the same spot, and re-minimize again.

Would one of our friendly MVPs please make sure that this bug is known to the developers?

Thanks!

The only thing that puts Entourage windows into the Dock is if you "minimize" them by

  1. clicking the yellow middle button at top left corner
  2. selecting "Minimize Window" in Window menu
  3. using the latter's keyboard shortcut - command-M


Or double-click the window’s title bar.

Oh. I never knew about that one. That does it all right. Thanks, Barry.

I have a friend who is physically incapable of single-clicking anything - he always double-clicks, leading to all sorts of "interesting" behavior on-screen. Could that be happening here too, Barbara?
