Submitting a Form

II am very new to Adobe however, I created a form and a submit button using version 8 professional. I also use outlook 2003 for emails. I followed the instructions on how to have the form emailed once completed and everything worked fairly well. The problem is, if a user updates that form in AR7, when the submit button is clicked, an email is created and you must manually send that email. This is exactly how I would like it to work because the user now has the opportunity to add additional files and documents.
If a user updates that form in AR8, when the submit button is clicked, an email is created and automatically sent. This is exactly what I do not want to happen.
Is there a way to create this form and when the submit button is clicked, have the email created but not automatically sent?
Thanks

Intriguing... We do the same thing with Acrobat/Reader 8 and Outlook 2003, and don't get automatic send for FDFs (in fact, for my form, I would actually like it if it did!). Sorry I can't point to why, but it may help if you list what you have set in the submit button (FDF, PDF, HTML etc).
