Thank you Anders, Will try this in future if this happens again.
Interestingly enough, this is absolutely the first and only time so far, in years of using VO and Mail that I have ever seen this happen. Usually redirecting VoiceOver's focus somewhere other than the offending app or mailbox will stop the 'one row added' madness... Like Alex, I have changed no settings or anything else... -Interesting... Thanks again and have a terrific day / evening!
