Fred,

>IE4, SP2 4.72.3612.1713. Occassionally, I have seen it work correctly, but mostly it blanks out (back to just the original message) when I return from a preview.

I think I remember something similar when I was still on IE4, but that was months ago and my memory doesn't span much more than 2 weeks :-)

But that still leaves the problems others are having with IE5.
