In as much as there are probably a dozen different email programs that are commonly used on Vista, it would help a lot if you'd tell us which one you're using. Would be cool if you could include some details about your email account, too.

i am using windows xp media version.i upgraded to latest version of explorer. so again, when i am in windows live hotmail, these titles such as 'sort by' in duplicate appear in boh purple and black lettering, yet neither is active. these titles overlay my email listings so that i cannot access links like reply, forward, delete etc. very frustrating.
