What would indexing have to do with this??

how frequently are you checking for email? Are you sure there aren't
addins installed? Is indexing running?

Ctrl+Z and Delete keys often don't work, either. Instead, Outlook freezes
up for about 5 seconds.

Standard English, no, and no, and given that the problem was on three
machines (XP, Win2k, and Vista) I hardly believe it's "something on my
machines". No other text editors have this problem, only Outlook when
sending e-mails. Granted, a standard option might be set on my env. that
isn't on yours that would cause this, but I have no idea what it is.
Outlook is set up with "HTML" as the message format setting.

what keyboard language? any addins installed? Any apps like tweakUi
installed?

Ctrl+Bkspace and arrows works as expected here on both windows xp and
vista so the problem is something on your machines.

I am still waiting for Microsoft to fix the screwy keyboard control
handling in Outlook. Ctrl+backspace is supposed to delete the word
preceding the caret, not insert unknown char Unicode square blocks.
Arrow keys are supposed to move the caret around, not just make it
blink faster. Half the time these keys work, half the time they don't,
I just keep pressing them until they work.

Using default editor settings in Outlook, with v2007 installed on two
machines--a laptop w/ Vista Ultimate and a workstation w/ Windows
Server 2003 R2. Only the Win2003R2 box has the arrow problem, both of
them have the Ctrl+Backspace problem.

I am so annoyed with Outlook 2007 I am disgusted with Microsoft for
letting this happen. It seems clear that a whole new generation of
young'ns have infiltrated the Redmond camps, where they completely
forgot about or never learned the importance and relevance of QA'ing
the keystroke driven user interfacing!!!!!!!!!!!!
