Unable to reply or forward a news message

D

Donna Aten

I'll ask again - last time my question was ignored.

If I try to forward a newsgroup message or reply to a newsgroup message, I
get an Outlook error message that says "The Operation Failed."

I found article 245315 on Microsoft Knowledge Base that tells me to make
Outlook Express the Default Simple MAPI Client to correct this problem.

If I do that, then when I try to use Outlook, I get the message telling me
that Outlook is not my default e-mail client. This didn't happen until I
had my hard drive reformatted and reloaded all my programs. I could reply
to or forward newsgroup messages when in Outlook Express without getting
this error message every time. Surely there is a setting some place that
will fix this annoying problem.

Also, if I try to forward or reply to a message in a corel newsgroup - it
works fine. But, when I try to do these same things in alt, rec, or
microsoft groups I can't.

The forwarded message or reply that I try to send goes into the Outlook
outbook, which I then have to delete before I can exit Outlook or it keeps
trying to send the message, which it can't, because there is not an address
in the To field.

Using Outlook 2003.

Your request for help may not have been ignored maliciously, but don't
expect the volunteers on this site to have all of the answers. It is
absolutely amazing how many answers are provided.
I have no answer for you either-nothing personal...
