FWIW, that is no longer a valid email address for Bob. Instead of trying to
reply to him by email, reply directly to his post in the newsgroup.

Reply Group is what you want: you want to reply to the group, not to the
individual poster. When you do that you are replying to his post (message)
in the newsgroup (discussion group, forum).

I don't know what his "post in the newsgroup" is, but I had been clicking
on the "Reply" button. When I clicked on the "Reply Group" button, it was
sent without a problem. I guess that's what you meant. I looked in the
Help window and there is no information about replying to a reply, nor is
there anything I could find that defines the difference between "Reply
Group" and "Reply". Maybe you could have them add it into the Help
function.
Thanks for your help.

I'm trying to reply to an answer to a question I received from Bob
Buckland ?:) MS Office System Products MVP. But when I send it, I keep
getting the error message: "The message could not be sent. The
authentication setting might not be correct for your outgoing e-mail
[SMTP] server. For help solving this problem, go to Help, search for
"Troubleshoot Windows Mail", and read the "I'm having problems sending
e-mail" section. If you need help determining the proper server
settings, please contact your e-mail service provider. The rejected
e-mail address was '75214.226(At Beautiful Downtown)compuserve.com'.

I was able to send a new question to another community okay, but when I
tried to send this one now not as a reply, I got the same error message.
What should I do differently?
Thanks.
