Others will correct me if I am wrong, but this is not "normal" behaviour
of OE. (Indeed some people would actually like to have this feature
included.) And I in no way meant to imply that because I have been lucky
enough to have been awarded MVP status, I must be right all of the time.
I'll wait until someone comes up with more suggestions. But I can only
suggest that you contact the manufacturer and ask what they may have
installed to do this automatically?
