I was using Outlook 2003 quite happily until I decided to try the 2007beta.
I found that 2007 was slow in rendering emails on my 1.4Ghz laptop, so I
removed it and went back to 2003.

Exported all email to a new PST file, and imported these back into 2003 ok.
Now when I use 2003, it takes about 3 minutes on average from the time I
click on an email for the reading pane to display it. This occurs with plain
text messages as well as HTML and rich text, and messages that do not have
graphics embedded.

I've scoured the registry for clues that point to residual 2007 files that
might be affecting 2003, to no avail.

Has anyone else seen this issue? Even though 2003 and 2007 use the same PST
file format, does the fact that 2007 uses XML techniques affect the way that
mail is displayed?

Regards
Marcus
