Why can't I see the letters I am typing in the body of a new emai.

When I create a new email message I can't see the words I am typing in the
body of the message. This happens about 60% of the time. Any ideas?

Because you are typing in the same color as the background?
Since you didn't specify any details we can only resort to wild guesses.

I was so frustrated I forgot to give more details. The background of the
email is white and I am using the Tahoma font in black.

But you still don't provide any details?
Version of Outlook?
Word or Outlook as the email editor?
Which message format are you composing in?

I am using Outlook 2007, all updates installed. I use Outlook to compose and
edit messages. The format is HTML. This only happens when I click on "New"
email message. The typing in the "To" and "Subject" fields are visable. It
is when I go to the "body" area of the new message and begin typing that it
doesn't show. The cursor will move as I type, just can't see any letters.
