SYMPTOMS
In versions 3.0b, 3.2, and 3.2a of Microsoft Mail for Windows, the INSERT
key on a standard enhanced keyboard will not overstrike existing text.
Whether the INSERT key is on or off, text is appended and is never typed
over.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the versions 3.0b, 3.2, and
3.2a of Microsoft Mail for Windows. We are researching this problem and
will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it
becomes available.
NOTE: The problem does not exist in the Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, MS-
DOS workstation.
