I noticed recently that I cannot correct my typos in e-mail using the Delete
key in Outlook Express. I can erase a letter or word(s) using the Backspace
bar, but the Delete key is unresponsive. It works OK in MS Word. How do I
reset it to work normally for my e-mails? Thanks.

[crosspost to OE General]

Are you running WinXP, WinXP SP1, WinXP SP2, or WinXP SP3?

UPDATE:
I just finished restoring my computer to a prior date, and all is well.
Outlook Express is working normally again. Thanks for your interest.
