Adobe Acrobat

I am using LiveCycle 8.0, but I have access to LiveCycle 8.2. It seems to me that in previous forms I have built, when the recipient submits the form, it goes straight to the outbox of the desktop client (Outlook for us), and notifies the sender that it has done so. Then, of course, you could go in and edit it from there, but there wasn't anything extra to click if you didn't want to.

Now, when the submit button is used, it opens up the draft email, and the submitter has to press "send" on the email before it will go to the outbox automatically. Is there any way to get this not to pop up, as it was done before? Or perhaps this is a company e-mail problem where it has stopped doing it? I am not sure which it is. Any insight would be appreciated

For reference, I am using the "button", not the "Email Submit Button" in my forms.

This is a security issue. Unless the form is trusted on the user's system, the user has to explicity approve the email being sent out. This is true for all cases where Acrobat activates the system's email client. If emails are being sent out silently then the PDF is either trusted or Acrobat is being naughty.
