SYMPTOMS

While you are downloading a message, Internet Mail may stop responding (hang). This usually occurs when there is a long list of names on the To or Cc lines in the message.

CAUSE

The message you are downloading has a very large header, typically larger than 4 kilobytes (K).

RESOLUTION

To resolve this behavior, download the updated version of Internet Mail and News 1.0. For information about obtaining the updated version of Internet Mail and News 1.0 for Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0, see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
