Evo really does have issues... it can't multitask, so if it's
downloading mail, you can't view messages until the download is done (or
you stop it with the stop button.) And, if it has some issue rendering
the message, it'll get stuck on "Formatting Message" and not let you
view any other messages until it's done. You should try hitting the
Cancel button and seeing if that fixes it.
