Vista - Replying to Messages Error/Bug

When I reply to a newsgroup and I have the box unchecked that puts the reply
at the bottom, I notice the reply gets stuffed partway inbetween the
message. The header is captured on what could only be called a toolbar? and
the curser is placed below it. Therefore the reply looks like this
(Notice - Excuse-me starts Diego's response. The first 2 lines should have
been down below the lines that have >> infront of them.

Notice that Frank Saunders sent a reply to a message, and then a reply was
sent back and it looks like Frank sent the reply, but it was Diego.

When I check the box to put replies at the bottom of the message this does
not happen, but the first few lines disappear until I use the arrow key to
move up and then they appear. There is no scroll bar in the reply area.

I have also noticed when I choose "new" message (When I started to create
this one) there was an area below the subject line that looked like part of
the space between the subject line and this box to type in. When I entered a
subject and pressed tab a couple of times, it shrunk down to the appropriate
size for a standard message window. The window didn't resize, just this text
area I am typing in. That area below the subject line is the area I am
referring to that captures the first few lines of a message that you reply
to and does not allow you to access it unless you have chosen to reply at
the bottom option.

What's up with this? A known bug?

Thanks.

That is indeed the ultimate stupid thing I have seen in WLMD so far. Plain
horrible, and they HAVE TO change this! Will provide feedback accordingly!
