puzzle when sending an attachnent from Word 2007 using Outlook 200

[AE at UCL]

If I elect to send a document from within Word 2007 (and I guess all the
other Office 2007 applications) it open up an Outlook message screen with the
attachment showing. above the 'to' box there is a message saying 'message not
sent'. When I hit the send button the email goes, but nothing on the screen
changes (i.e. the same screen is displayed along witht he same words'message
not sent'. I've now learnt to ignore this as the message has in fact been
sent, but I wonder if this is something I've set up wrongly or whether there
is a fix. It isn't a major problem, but it has only occured since I switched
to 2007.

Thanks

so the outlook new mail window never leaves the screen, even after you press
send?

Hi Diane,

That is exactly the case - in fact the way I learned was thinking that the
message wasn't being sent so repeatedly hit send (about 6 times) leading to 6
emails arriving at the destination.

Not sure if I missed an earlier answer - but as far as I know I'm hoping that
someone might know why the unsent message still displays even after it has
been sent?
