Question asked on May 15, 2014

I receive a regular e-mail 'broadcast' from a very reputable organization, but when I double-click the message to open it, WLM stops working.  The same thing happens when I try to forward the message as well.  There must be something in the syntax that WLM just doesn't like.  The whole pane 'grays out,' the little wheel spins and spins, and eventually I get a message that the program has stopped working.  Windows asks me if I want to troubleshoot, and I cooperate by offering to send additional info to MS, but although I see Internet traffic at this point, I never get a reply.

Other people I know who receive these broadcast e-mails using Outlook or other clients do not have this problem.  I am able to save the message as a .eml file, and would be glad to send this to anyone who cares.
