My email icons don't change when I reply or forward emails.
I simply get some text in the top that says "You made changes to another
copy of this item. This is the most recent version. Click here to see other
versions."
Only when I go back to the older version, do I see the icons change.
What's going on? If I have to do this for every mail I reply to, I'll go
nuts...

Please help.
 
Version of Outlook?
Type of account?
Where do you see this? While composing, original message, sent item, other?
Stes to reproduce?

Sorry.... Should have done that...
Version of Outlook: 2003 SP2
Type of Account: Enterprise

Where do I see the message:
When you double click a message, usually at the very top, you see some text
telling you when you replied to that mail or when you forwarded that mail...
Well, that's where I see this message which says "You made changes to another
copy of this item... ... ... ... other versions."

This is basically on messages in my Inbox. Typically what you should see is
a list of messages with the little "forward" or "back" arrows on top of teh
mail icons. This tells you what messages you have forwarded or replied to.
Well, in my case, I don't see those icons at all. So, what do I do? I open
the mail item, right click at the very top, replace the item with whatever
the "another version" is, and THEN viola... I see the icons change.
It is almost as if Outlook thinks I modified the mails I receive.

Thanks for your help.
Regards
