Subtle, though annoying bug discovered

I have discovered that Outlook, running under Windows
2000, will inhibit the taskbar from appearing if you have
a return reciept email highlighted. Usually, I can get
around the problem simply by highlighting a "regular"
email. Does anyone know about this bug? I was going to
report this to Microsoft, but didn't find a convenient way
to do that.

So just to reiterate, you can see the bug as follows:
1) Configure the taskbar for Auto Hide, Always on top
2) In Outlook under Advanced Email Tracking Options, Check
the following: Process requests and responses on arrival;
Process receipts on arrival; Request a read receipt for
all messages I send.

Once that is done, simply send someone an email, and
highlight the receipt returned to you when that person
reads your email. The taskbar will be inaccessable until
you select another (non-reciept) message, or make some
other application besides Outlook your active window.

Weird, huh?
