Issues that the hotfix package fixes
This hotfix package fixes the following issues that were not previously documented in a Microsoft Knowledge Base article:  Outlook 2003 may stop responding when it tries to use the Junk E-mail rule that is associated with a mailbox.

This issue occurs when the Junk E-mail rule contains a &quot;null&quot; action. Consider the following scenario:  You drag a copy of an Outlook 2003 e-mail message to the Microsoft Windows desktop. This message contains a text attachment or a document attachment. You click Start, and then click Printer and Faxes. You right-click a printer, click Set as Default Printer, and then close the Printers dialog box. You right-click the .msg file on the Windows desktop, and then click Print.

In this scenario, the message body text prints to a different printer than the printer to which the attachment prints. The attachment prints to the default printer.</li></ul>
