Vista - Lotus inotes (webmail) help please

With Vista RC1 or RC2. Employers email is Lotus and outside access is via
inotes, Lotus' version of webmail. I can access and read email no problems.
However, when creating new mail or forwarding/replying, I cannot gain access
to the body of the email to type. It is something with how IE in vista uses
the activex I think. Under XP with IE7, when accessing the body area to
type, a small pop-up says to press the spacebar to access this area. In
Vista, this area won't open up to type in, the cursor stays "busy." I have
set the site as a trusted zone in IE and turned off all security measures,
still no luck.

Any advice appreciated.

OWA (Exchange Web) does the same thing, don't have a solution yet, do you
get the picture placeholder?

I have the same problem but have tried Firefox, Avant and Opera without
success! If I can't resolve this soon I'll have to go to XP! If someone finds
a fix I would be eternally grateful!
