Arggh! (I know: Talk Like a Pirate Day isn't here yet.) But I figured this  
"feature" out.

I'd set my user account (in XP) to recognize Opera as my email client. And  
had been launching it via a shortcut in the Start menu, that specified it  
as Email. So-o...

I pinned the desktop shortcut (...yeah, I know: but I usually have them  
hidden...) and pinned that to the Start menu, too. And launching Opera via  
it lets Opera behave normally.

(I wish I could say such a misunderstanding will never happen again. But I  
know better: <http://my.opera.com/community/forums/topic.dml?id=248973>  
from long eXPerience. And I sometimes miss my Mac very, very much.)
