I don't know anything about this specific problem, but you mustn't treat
Outlook and Outlook express as the same in this regard. Although Microsoft
has treated them both to a more or less similar GUI, I've read that both
products are very different underneath. It was said that one, or both, were
acquired from takeovers and that Outlook and OE have just about nothing in
common. Or at least that's how it all started. Who knows what may have
changed since then. So bugs in one are not at all certain to appear in the
other (unless of course, it calls an ActiveX or IE function or so)
