Summary: Outlook.exe will not terminate when launched via mailto
Initial Comment:
I first ran into this problem a few months ago at work.
But at the time I thought it was related to a custom
program we run here. But now I noticed I can easily
reproduce the problem on any computer running
SpamBayes+Outlook 2003 on Windows XP.
Basically, I will open Outlook via the icon to read mail. I
will then close Outlook, and if I have Task Manager
open, I will see that Outlook.exe closes correctly.
Now if I launch a mailto: link (or use a program that
launches a new mail), where the Compose Mail window
opens, but not the actual outlook program, the problem
occurs. If I close the compose mail window, by either
clicking Send, or closing it without sending, the
OUTLOOK.EXE task will not exit.
If I launch Outlook again, I'll now have multiple instances
of OUTLOOK.EXE in task manager.
Now the multiple instances is what caused the problem
with our custom software at work, but that has nothing
to do with the fact that Outlook does not exit correctly
when running Spambayes and having a program/mailto
link open the Compose Mail window.
Yes I realize there have been 2 previous tickets about
OUTLOOK.EXE closing, but none came to the conclusion
that it's caused by a Compose Mail window. And both
are closed without a solution.
I have tested this on several computers and have tried
multiple things to try to fix it (such as renaming
extend.dat and other files) and nothing seems to work.

Maybe this is specific to Outlook 2003 then? Kenny: you've
got 2003, right? Can you try and replicate this?

Yes, it only happens with SpamBayes installed.
I install SpamBayes, set up the toolbar, etc
Close Outlook, type mailto:blah at blah.com in a browser or click
a mail link and it opens the Compose Mail window. Once I close
this window, Outlook.exe ramains in the task list. If I click
another mailto link I'll have 2 stuck open, then 3, etc
If I have only 1 process loaded and it's the main Outlook
window, when I click a mailto link it will work fine since it
doesn't load a separate outlook.exe process. It only does this
when the main outlook program isn't loaded.
Once I uninstall SpamBayes or uncheck it in the COM Add-Ins
area in Outlook, this problem goes away. As soon as I close a
Compose Mail window, OUTLOOK.EXE terminates correctly.
I've tried this on several PCs, some with fresh installs of XP/
Outlook, some with several months old installs and other
applications, it's the same on each.
Thanks

Have you tried this without SpamBayes installed? I get the
same behaviour without SpamBayes, which says to me it's an
Outlook problem, not a SpamBayes one.
