windows 8 IE10 not functioning correctly with Exchange 2010 SP1 OWA (touch interface)

[News Bot]

Hello,

I'm a newbie to Windows 8, so please bear with me.

I can log in to our company's Exchange 2010 server via Outlook Web Access on a new HP ElitePad 900, but once I'm in, a very basic task seems to be failing.

In IE 8 or IE 9, when you double click on an email title, the email opens in a new Internet Explorer window.  However, when I double tap the email title in either Metro mode or IE10 running in desktop mode (with the window minimized-i.e. not taking

up the full screen), the web browser seems to infer that double tap means "zoom in to the current page a little bit."  I'm guessing that part of the problem is that I don't know the Windows 8 touch UI very well.

How do I open the current email in a new window?  Or even a new tab?

Thanks!
