    Tried unloading everything except systray.exe (via Msconfig); still the
same:
1) click on toggle text mode:
    button icons change to 'HTML', after Options menu comes up and is
cancelled, but no change in the text mode on screen.
2) Retry, Options menu again, cancel, no change (in display and icon still
HTML); retry,
3) Options again, cancel, *ding*, small 'OE Tool' box comes up: General 3
comes up, at this point, it hangs.
4) Use Task Mgr (Ctrl-Alt-Del) to kill OE Tool, and then OE works OK.
5) Tried then toggling the same mail using the Options menu, Read, Plain
text, and it worked just fine.
    Writing this, I see that I didn't check the reverse process, i.e.,
having OE in HTML mode first then loading OE Tool and trying the toggle
then.

Its a very tricky thing when those problems show up. I can't figure out why
they occur when they do. It does work in Win98. Try disabling all running
programs besides OE and OETool and see if it works better then. I think
when system resources are very limited, then these problems are exacerbated.
