SYMPTOMS
When you click Mail on the Standard Buttons toolbar in Internet Explorer and then click New Message, Send Link, or Send Page, your computer may stop responding (hang).



CAUSE

RESOLUTION
To work around this behavior, use either of the following methods:

Method 1
Disable the Send Messages Immediately setting. To do this, follow these steps:


 * 1) In Outlook Express, click Options on the Tools menu.
 * 2) Click the Send tab, click the Send Messages Immediately check box to clear it, and then click OK.
