Re: web email (Yahoo, Hotmail, Excite, etc.)

These web based email accounts let you type in plain text, or you can swith to "rich text" format (colours & graphics) when you compose email. I have been using the rich text format.

Today, I can't use it at any of these sites. I have rebooted & tried again, no luck. I can't get my cursor in the box that you type in, nor does tabbing to the box work. The box is skipped and you are tabbed to the next field below the compose box.

I have switched to "plain text" and can type & send email fine that way.

This happens in my stand alone IE6(SP1) browser. AOL is my ISP, and if I access the web email from AOL's built in browser (also IE), I can use the rich text options in email without a problem.

Any ideas on what to do with IE6 so that I may continue to use rich text in these web email accounts?

Lisa
