Jack,
ask your friends what e-mail program they are using. Could it be MS Outlook
or Outlook Express? Also ask about OS version.

Are your friends so new to Windows that they do not understand the basic
concept of overlapping windows, or the fact that a window can be concealed
by another window?

Best regards,
Göran Halfvarson

| When we open an incoming EMail, we get a reduced reading of
| the message, with the double panes, one above one below. When
| we hit the expand symbol in the upper right hand corner, the
| message now becomes full page. Often, when we're reading the
| text, the entire message disappears, leaving us with the task
| bar on the bottom identifying the message is still avaiable
| for reading, but only if we hit the task bar. At this time,
| we're now back into the message table that lists all of the
| incoming and read messages. It bounces back and forth, for no
| apparent reasoning.
