Hi-

When I go to view my Hotmail Inbox in Outlook 2003 and try to select
messages, it has to load the entire email first instead of just leaving the
header. This is really annoying as some of these emails are quite big.
This problem just started happening 2 days ago and I cannot figure out what
could be causing this. Before I could just select them without it doing
anything and it would only download when I opened it. I would REALLY
appreciate any help someone might have. Thanks!

So what poll actions are configured for the account? In OL2002:

Tools menu -> Send/Receive Settings -> Define Send/Recieve Groups ->
pick your group and edit it -> pick your accout -> check if the option
to download just the headers is selected (i.e., download item
description only).

I abandoned my Hotmail account a long time ago but remember you could
alter whether or not it downloaded the message+header or just the
header.
 
Thanks for your reply. This just started going wrong and I don't believe I
changed any settings. I did check and it still shows download headers only.
It does that except when I highlight the message, then it downloads it all
before I even click to open it.
