OK so I clearly remember selecting allied in the drop down box before mailing. I'll be what happened next was critical. I scrolled with my mouse wheel to get to the bottom of the page to click the send button. When the page didn't scroll down I just dragged the window down and clicked send. Betcha when I rolled that scroll wheel on my mouse that selection box spun like wheel of fortune. Just my luck it didn't land back on allied or even none! I did it real fast and didn't even look again before I sent.
In events this sort of thing shouldn't happen. I'd suggest changing the order of things. Add a window ahead of the one where the message is composed for axis/ allies, etc. Or maybe a dialog box to confirm you're sending this to the right people.
I don't have the slilghtest idea what would be involved in this. Was just a suggestion.
It was a simple mistake to make if that's what happened and I'm just guessing that was it. Just thought it might be a good idea to eliminate the possibility of it happening in the future.

Yup. That's happened to me too.
Usually cuz I failed to mouse click on the panel of interest which makes it the "Active" window for scrolling.

Attachment was probally corrupted anyways. I tried to use it and every time it made the text document corrupted.

Exactly! That box either ought to be on a separate window completely or at least stuck right down there next to the send button. That might be the easiest.
Its embarrasing as hell to say the least!

Dude... you sure you ain't a cop, or detective? That is awesome deductive reasoning on par with the greats like; Holmes, Brannigan, and even Columbo :lol :rofl :rofl
Seriously though, I see this a lot at work when using Outlook Distress. Someone'll have a mail list added to their box and inadvertently scrolls the mouse after selecting the addy they want then winds up shooting a joke to 32,000 employees across the world... simply because they didn't proofread the address bar.
...I chalk it up to "goofiness happens" hehe

Drano's clever deception, sending the false plans to the axis was the reason for the embarrasing spanking handed down by the Allies.

hehe It was all part of the plan. Didn't you see that on page 12? :D

When I read the logs and saw that the Axis out numbered the Allies by about 20 pilots I was even more impressed with the results.
That was such a fun frame. Some of my guys scored their first FSO kills, hell, a couple of them scored there first fso landing :D
In our flight, coordination with the AK's was good, we knew where they were at all times and it really went off precisesly to plan.
Great work everyone, and to the axis!

LOL! I was thinking the same thing! When he sent the first set of orders, I noticed that we didn't have a task for our squad. I replied that we didn't get an assignment, and at the same time he sent the "Correct" orders out to us and I had to wonder if he sent them the wrong ones first or did he send them the second set first. My braincell started to overheat :huh so I thought let's see what happens in the SEA. It worked out well. Niceley done!!:aok
