Mail sends email to undisclosed recipients without being asked

This is highly annoying and I would love for someone to tell me how to fix it.
Here is the situation:
I have an iPhone 3GS with all software up to date. I am using the mail program that comes standard from Apple (came with the phone).
When I go to send or forward an email with an attachment, it sends it to "undisclosed recipients" without stopping to allow me to select who should get the email. My Contacts list does not contain a category for Undisclosed Recipients so I have no idea why my phone does this. It happens when I get to the screen where I can type in an email address or hit the plus icon to bring up my contacts.

News Flash!! I just solved my own problem. It's a user problem. I will post the solution here just in case there is anyone else out there as uncoordinated as me. When the screen comes up, asking for who to send or forward the email to, I always hit the PLUS icon to bring up the CONTACTS list, but if your finger slips just a bit, it will hit the send button. This will send the email to nobody except yourself, if you have added yourself as an automatic CC.

For some reason, although the email is only going to me, the iPhone tells me it is going to "undisclosed recipients". This of course scares the heck out of me, when you have just sent confidential info.

iPhone, iPhone OS 3.1.3
