Hi There.

I have Outlook 2007 SP2 and run XP SP3.

I want to move a number of messages from one folder to another and found
that some messages could be moved, but not all.

The ones left behind cannot be read in the reading pane and I get a message
"This item contains active content that cannot be displayed in the reading
pane. Open the item to read the contents"

When I try to move the message I get "this task cannot be performed for
message headers. Download the complete messages, and then complete the task"

I can open the message and view it and if I email the message to
myself, the new message can be moved to any folder without problem.

Any ideas anyone please? This is my third time of trying to sort this out so
help would be realy appreciated!

Thanks
Buster
 
Do you know if you are using pop3 or Imap??? I would also try to disable your
internet connection temporaly and try using outlook in offline mode and try
moving them then.

Hope this helps you.
