When I foward an email, I usually delete "From" information, or addresses on the address list before sending the message. I have been doing this by moving the curser to the left of the word "From", and pressing the delete key several times as the characters are removed. Now, when I do this, after a few characters are deleted, I get a message saying "Windows Live Mail has stopped working". "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly". "Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available". I then found that if I highlight what I want to delete, then press the delete ley, the information is deleted without an error. I also discovered I can delete this information by placig the curser at the end of what I want to delete, and delete the information using the backspace key. I just can no longer delete this information using the single delete keystrokes as I used to do.
I am using a Dell PC running Windows 7 professional will all the latest updates. My WLM is version 2011, build 15.4.3555.0308.
