SYMPTOMS

CAUSE
Windows Address Book mistakenly closes the new message.



RESOLUTION
To work around this issue, do not quit Windows Address Book while you are composing a message that was created from within Windows Address Book.

Or, you can close the message and click Yes when you are prompted to save the message. You can then quit Windows Address Book and continue editing the message by opening it from the Drafts folder.



STATUS
This problem was corrected in Outlook Express version 5.
