    if it was a reply to an email that was sent to an old email address (from a different ISP) you may not be able to reply. I get at least one email amonth from a mate who who sends to the old email addy, when i click reply it just sits in the out box.

    That's because ISP's restrict sending to be via their own servers only-it's an anti-spam measure. Receiving is generally OK. If you change the outgoing server address (smtp server) in that email account to that of your current ISP, it should send OK.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
