I'm seeing the same problem in Windows 2000.

Mail is useless for 60% of my work with this bug.

Some more description of the problem:
1) open email, read message (any message)
2) Hit reply - new message pops up but the original message is not automatically
quoted and no attribution automatically filled in.  Can click into message body,
and can address messages (haven't tried sending though).  Close message.  You
can still open for reading new messages at this point, browser windows still works.
3) Hit reply on another message.  All open windows hang with busy timer icon,
you have to close app to restore function.

i used 2001-09-12-05 build on win98. I was able to compose new message and send 
as well as reply to a message and did not experience any freeze. Please try new 
build.
