Hi all.
Office 2003 with Outlook 2003 SP3.
Windows XP SP2.
Windows 2000 SP4.
Exchange 2000 SP3.
Outlook 2003 is freezing when trying to reply or forward a HTML message.
I've found the article 278214 and stopping winword.exe unfreezes outlook,
but I still can not reply or forward the message.
Outlook 2003 is using the Word 2003 as it's e-mail editor.
The following configuration options are set in outlook 2003:
Tools / Options / Mail Format / Message Format:
Compose in this message format: HTML
Use Microsoft Office Word 2003 to edit e-mail messages: is checked.
Thanks in Advance.
Best Regards.
Sidney.

That's a very well-detailed post, but I suggest you might try posting in
microsoft.public.outlook, as this won't be an Exchange issue. You'll get
more "eyes" that way. Oh, and in there, you might mention what happens if
you *don't* use word as your mail editor

Our organization is a simple single-forest, single-domain network environment. We currently have one Windows 2000 Server and two Windows Server 2003 Sp2 Std Edition machines. We have just built a new server with Windows Server 2003 R2 x64 edition, and we plan to migrate Exchange to this machine. All four of these machines are domain controllers. I thought I understood Windows domain and forest functional levels, but now I am finding myself confused. The book I said in different places that: Exchange 2007 requires a domain functional level of at least Windows 2000 native. Exchange 2007 requires a forest functional level of at least Windows 2003. Specifically, it says: = 93To install Exchange Server 2007, the Windows Server 2003 Active Directory
authentication Exchange Server I have Exchange 2007 SP1 running in a coexistent environment with Exchange 2003 SP2, both single-server setups. Eventually all user accounts will be transitioned to E2007 so ADdomain \ user is mapped to REALM \ user, which is what staff use to logon to Windows, OWA, etc with. OWA works fine. Using Outlook 2003 with a user logged on to Windows as REALM \ user everything works fine. Using Outlook 2007 with a user logged on to Windows as ADdomain \ user everything works fine. Using Outlook 2007 with a user logged on to Windows as REALM \ user things break. Specifically: - Outlook

I am trying to follow the steps in this article: How to Simplify the Outlook Web Access URL http: / / technet.microsoft.com / en-us / library / aa998359.aspx The problem is guess I would not care if they all were redirected as long as activesync and outlook anywhere worked (I have not gotten that far yet though). I just assumed they should ideas why this is not working? Any input is appreciated.

Looking at the Headers and the Queue on the 2003 server , you can see it stuck on the 2003 server.

According to your description, I understand that the emails send from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2007 will delay. If I have misunderstood the problem, please don't hesitate you set up a new Exchange 2007 Server and joined it into his existing Exchange 2003 Organization, also created a bi-direction Routing Group Connector between his Exchange 2003 RG and Exchange 2007 RG. Then, you found e-mail from the mailbox in Exchange 2003 server to the mailbox in Exchange 2007 server will fail or delay. This issue is
has run in to this, but this morning I installed hotfix KB950159 on my Exchange 2003 server, and it brought down Store.exe. I was able to manually start the service took down mail for everyone. This came through WSUS as "Security Update for Exchange Server 2003". I generally install these updates during business hours, and then schedule the restart for off ever had this happen with a hotfix installation.
