weird view issue -- OL2003

[Guest]

This has just recently started happening, affects only one folder, and has no
explanation.

When I click into a certain message folder, the default message selected is
the first one (earliest date) in the folder. Since I sort in ascending
order, to reach the newest messages I always have to scroll up. Big folder,
too. The most irritating thing tho is that if I click out of a message in
this folder to view another folder, and then click back, it goes back to the
same message 1st message. And this is the only folder this happens in. I've
tried all view options, but none seem to indicate how to resolve this or what
would've caused it, since I haven't changed any settings.

Since any other time I switch between folders, the selection defaults to the
most recently opened message in that folder, I'm just at a complete loss to
understand this behavior.

Any ideas or suggestions?

try hitting home or end keys to change which message is selected and if that
doesn't solve it, reset the view (right click on the field names and choose
custom... then reset).

has resolved itself.
