Details

i noticed while writing e-mails and using the left and right arrow keys to move
around that when my cursor is at the end of the text that i have written so far,
that if i hit the right arrow key one more time, the cursor disappears... i hit
a key to find out what could happen since i didnt' see it blinking anywhere, and
the key i pressed ended up at the very beginning of the e-mail message i was
composing and the cursor revealed its blinking self again after whatever key i
hit.  yeah i shuld probably use the end key so i don't have to bother u guys..
but anyway i'm using build 2000032909
reassign to editor folk.

are you using html or plain text compose?
i beilieve i'm using text compose to compose my e-mail

using 3-APR build on win95:
1. launched mail
2. selected New Message
3. set focus within the body
4. entered several words and pressed the right arrow

NOTE: the cursor disappreared

5. began typing to see where focus was, the caret had been set to the beginning 
of the line.
