Replying to or forwarding emails on Hotmail no longer works properly

When I reply to or forward messages from my Hotmail accounts, the original message disappears. This happens in most, but not all, cases. Do you know if this is a Hotmail issue or something to do with the settings on my laptop? I am using Firefox. Ian Neil The problem seems to be a known bug in Firefox: it's Bug 538892 at Bugzilla . It affects Mac OS X and Unix as well as Windows versions, and a Google search suggests it is hitting quite a lot of people. One possible remedy is to try waiting at least 30 seconds after each action. You could use a different browser for Hotmail, or do your email via the free desktop program, Windows Live Mail. If you don't have it, you can download a copy from http://download.live.com/wlmail . It also works with Gmail, Yahoo Plus and other email services.
