After you in the body message, your forn mode must on. If your forn mode is off, you cannot type anything.

I am able to enter an email address and subject, but after tabbing out of the subject line, where I assume I should now be in the message body, I can't type any text. The only way I am able to send this message is by typing it in notepad and copying and pasting it into the message body. I assume there must be some setting in the Windows Live Mail options which needs to be changed, but danged if I can find it. I'd appreciate some help. Alan
