Bounced email

Hi
I sent a friend an email recently in USA and it got bounced back - no explanation or codes - just the raw email. I think she may be annoyed with me and was wondering if she has blocked my email address - I'm a nice person really and cant understand this. Dont want to write or phone or text until I know whats going on.:A I use Hotmail.com

    The header of the bounced email should show the reason it bounced
    How do I add a signature?

    Oh dear... how needy. It's not you... or anything you've done.... it'll most likely be one of the following:

    - you typed the email address slightly wrong
    - she closed her account or didn't pay her bill
    - their server is down or some piece of kit's broken

    So:
    - check and double-check the email address and that you typed it 100% correctly.
    - try again later/tomorrow.

    Figament is correct, the headers of the email will give you the bounce code.
