SYMPTOMS

Outlook Express may stop responding (hang) after you sort by the From or Subject column and then press any key.

CAUSE

This problem can occur if the last message in the list is selected and there is no corresponding message sender or message subject that begins with the letter you pressed.

RESOLUTION

To work around this behavior, make sure that any message other than the last message in the list is selected before pressing the key.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
