Sometimes when I'm in the body of an e-mail message and I have to go into the correction dialog box I still get excessive chatter while in the correction dialog box. What I mean by excessive chatter is a lot more than box open and box closed. If it matters to my knowledge I have everything set up correctly within Microsoft Outlook 2003. This behavior only happens when it wants to. I have not taken the time yet to track down when it happens and when it does not. I know it happened when I was replying to a e-mail message while ago. But it did not happen while writing this e-mail message. Thank you for reading. Chris.
