F for ...

I wanted to post about Outlook's funny keyboard short cuts but Chakrapani took the lead:
I just saved myself from a huge embarrassment. Searching for a person's name in a MS Outlook e-mail, I pressed Ctrl + F and started typing the name. While Ctrl + F in all other (no.. most other) applications would launch that little 'Find' dialog box, in case of Outlook, it is a shortcut for forwarding the mail as it launches the 'Forward' window and waits for us to fill the address field. As the search phrase was the person's name itself, in effect I was about to forward a confidential mail to the person about whom the mail was about. I would have made a big a*s of myself, had I pressed the return key. Thank God!Via Chakkarapani.com
