Outlook 2003 HTML Lag

[James]

I am having a very odd problem. We have outlook 2003 installed on windows
terminal servers (windows 2003) and IE7.

If a user gets an email that is in HTML format, and tries to reply to it,
there is massive lag. You can type an entire line in, and nothing shows up,
then after a few seconds the line just appears. This problem only happens
in outlook, and only when typing a message. If I type in the subject line
or any other area it works fine. Also this problem only happens when typing
in HTML, if I convert the email to plain text, or rich text, there is NO
lag. This issue just appeared one moring, and is affecting all of our
terminal servers. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Are you using Word or Outlook as the email editor? Does changing it make a
difference? What has changed in the configuration? Did you install any
updates or was there some other form of maintenance? (check the Event Logs)

Where would we set if we are using word or outlook?
The only maintanence that was done, was downloading the Microsoft updates
released on Tuesday. They were not installed though, just downloaded and
ready to be installed.
