Outlook 2003 and E-mail

Loobeylou

Yet another niggling problem, to which I am sure one of you really helpful people will have the answer.

I sent an e-mail to a friend over the weekend, and this morning she had resonded. I clicked on "reply" and typed in my follow-up message, but I could not send it. It just sat in my outbox and would not go. Only when I copied and pasted my message on to a completely new e-mail form did I manage to send it.

Any ideas as to why?

In Outlook, going through the set up, you can put in a return e-mail address. If something has got into that box which is incorrect, this can cause the e-mail to fail. Thats a bit of a long shot but the only thing I can think of to cause the scenario you describe. Did you tell your friend that her e-mail reply is not working?
