Hi, Today I was happily reading my email until a strange situation involving what seems to be a single email start to happen. I opened the message, read its contents and tried to delete it. Deleting didn't work with the keystroke, going to the toolbar and choosing delete or hitting the close button. When I tried to shut down, I got an error that said I had to force quit mail first so I did and it restarted. I restarted Mail after it rebooted and was faced with the same email and the same "no way out" state. I tried a few more times to shut down and do a few other things but, alas, all has done nothing but leave me with Mail broken. Any ideas? I had to use my Windows laptop to do this email.
