Email link? When I click on an email address on a site page, my screen switches to a gmail screen ?

Question

with the new address in the "Send to" box/line. I have gmail, but the screen that shows up is different than my usual gmail screen. I write a message, hit send, it sends, says it's sent. Then when I go to my regular gmail (using Mozilla Thunderbird) , I have received the mail, addressed to me. I've done this 3 times and made sure the address box was filled correctly, NOT to me. I'm quite puzzled. (It was sent to faceless large entities, so I can't call and ask if they've received it.) Also, on the odd gmail page, I've saved the draft, but the drafts don't show on my regular page. Both definitely gmail, not my Yahoo email. Started from a Google homepage. Using Vista 7.0. New to computers and email (6 months). Thanks.
