When I used Lotus Notes, I could set it up so that each time I sent a
message, a dialog box came up and gave me the option of saving it or not
saving it. I liked this because I didn't want to save messages like
"Thanks!", but also did not want to forget to save something that needed to
be saved. It forced me to think about it each time.

I have not been able to figure out how to accomplish this same thing in
Outlook. Is there a way I can do this?

I use this VBA sample for that:
http://www.vboffice.net/sample.html?mnu=2&pub=6&smp=38&cmd=showitem&lang=en

I use to have to Send buttons, one if I want to save the message and another
one if I don't. The sample prompts if you really want to delete the message
after it's being sent, which you can cancel.
