Re: Mouse wheel does not scroll preview reading pane

Hi, I'm having a problem with Entourage 2008 that I think is a bug. I have the Logitech MX Revolution mouse and it has a scroll wheel on it. This performs the same as the scroll wheel on Apple's Mighty Mouse.
The issue is when I am reading a long email that has complex HTML in it, the mouse scroll wheel does not reliably scroll the message down when the message is in the right-hand preview/reading pane. The weird thing is, it's spotty -- sometimes it scrolls, then other times it doesn't: if you get it working scrolling down, then try to scroll up, it doesn't work.
Scrolling works fine in all other applications (well I haven't tried other office applications yet, but at least in all non-MS applications it works perfectly), and it also works perfectly in the middle pane that displays the list of messages.
Note: I know to click the message itself to make sure the "focus" is on the reading pane. I've done that. But still there's this problem.
I rely on the mouse wheel entirely to scroll while reading. (Note: the scroll arrows in the far right work flawlessly near as I can tell, it's just the mouse wheel that doesn't work.)
Any ideas? I suspect this is a bug, hopefully someone can report it and investigate.
Thanks!

Hi, I'm having the exact same problem. Still looking for a solution.
It does have to be a bug. This is very frustrating. I'm using a wired
Apple Mighty Mouse. If I find one I will post again. Sorry, I feel
your pain...
