SYMPTOMS

When you reply to an open e-mail message, the navigation keys on the keyboard do not work (the ARROW keys, PAGE UP, PAGE DOWN, and so on).

CAUSE

The e-mail option, "Close original message on reply or forward," is selected. To find this option, click Options on the Tools menu, and on the Preferences tab, click E-mail Options.
