Outlook 2003 in Vista - Message Body Content Pain Does not appear

[Guest]

When logging into my university email system (outlook 2003) when I hit create
new mail, the content pain which allows you to type a message into the
message body does not display it just shows a similar icon to that of an img
src on a webpage that has a broken link to it i.e a red cross in the top left
hand corner.

How do I fix this or do I have to wait for microsoft to release a fix?

The content of your message pane has caused me pain. Heh.

Sorry, but I'm not sure from your description what is happening. Do you mean
that a new window does not open you "Create New Message"? That's really
weird, but I can't help but think that I've seen this problem somewhere
before. I'll rummage around in my dustry old brain to see if I can remember
whether or not I have actually seen this issue. In the meantime, what options
is your Outlook client set to use for creating e-mails -- especially with
respect to what program is set as your e-mail editor?

Are you using Outlook Web Access through a web browser? If so, the problem
you describe is a fairly well known one which is fixed with an Exchange
patch. Let your e-mail administrator know it's a problem and you heard there
was a fix available.
