Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Outlook Express version 4.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

When you save an unsent message in Outlook Express, the message is saved without the following settings:
