This has to do with Hotmail.com, the internet email.
Why is there a black line, extending along the top and bottom of the first email in my Inbox and all folders? And it's along the far left and right edges too. So it's like a border, around the entire length of the email. It's annoying. How do I get rid of it?
Using Classic Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management
There's no setting for this. When I check the box on another email further down, the border disappears on the top email, but the email with the box checked turns blue, and puts that black border around the blue. If I remove the check, then the border remains around that email.
Seems the system is thinking I "checked" (or tapped) the top email in the Inbox (and all folders) even though I didn't, and putting that stupid border around it by itself.
This just happened the last few days. How do I get rid of it?
