Sorry Hal, I am having the same Koyangie is having. I have contacted MSN and
Microsoft and they are both baffled and pointing the finger at each other.
One specialist is looking into. I have 4 computers and 2 with XP and Outlook
2003 (no problem). Vista and Outlook 2003 (No problem). Vista and Outlook
2007 (BIG PROBLEM). Will let you know they MSN and Microsoft say.
