OK, so there are a few people out there besides myself that are experiencing this issue.
You go to send out an email. So first you put in the recipient address, then the subject.
OK, so far everything is normal.
Then you start typing the body of your message. So far, so good.
Then you go to paste something into the message. I doesn’t matter what you paste, some text, a URL, whatever, and zip, your message is sent without the part you were trying to paste.
This has been happening to me randomly for well over a year, on several computers. So I decided to figure out what was happening, and I did.
I realized something, when I paste things into the body of my email, I hit the enter key twice in order to separate the pasted content from what is already in the body of the message.
I knew about the Ctrl + Enter feature in Outlook (it sends the message, same as Alt + S) , but I SWORE to myself I wasn’t hitting the enter key.
I WAS hitting the Ctrl + Enter key and so are you. There is no bug, you aren’t hitting some mystery keys, you are hitting the Enter key and then the Ctrl key in such a way that you are sending the message before your pasted content gets pasted via Ctrl + S. I can duplicate it 100% of the time.
Think about it, you don’t paste content right under what is already in the body of your message, right? You hit the enter key twice. So, you are hitting the Enter key, and the Ctrl key, and you still think you are not hitting them together? Let me guess this, you are a fast typist. Right?
Right.
There is no bug.
Problem fixed. Go slower when pasting content into your email message in Outlook.
Or, disable the Ctrl + Enter key combination. You can still use the Alt + S key combination.
To disable the Ctrl + Enter key combination create the following registry keys/values:
Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\DisabledShortcutKeysCheckBoxes
String Value: CtrlEnter
Value Data: 13,8
Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Word\DisabledShortcutKeysCheckBoxes
String Value: CtrlEnter
Value Data: 13,8
Now see if you still have the problem. (You won’t.)

Thanks to Blake Handler for the regkey info to disable ctrl + enter!
