I have the strangest problem in Outlook 2003.

When I select the most recent e-mail in my inbox, it appears in the viewing pane as normal. As soon as I move the mouse into the viewing pane, the list of today's messages contracts, but the message stays in the viewing pane. When I move the mouse back into the list of messages, the viewing pane goes grey. This only happens with a few e-mails which appear to be unconnected.

Also, if I want to write an e-mail and try to click in the "To" or "Cc" fields, focus is automatically shifted back to the message field.

I have no idea what is causing this - any ideas?
