From: "John Beamish" 

I've got it and I installed Office 2003.

As a side effect, OE (my newsgroup reader for Barktopus and my email client
for a couple of my email addresses) has broken.  It *sort of* works.

It works if I want to create and send an email.  I click on "Create
mail" and a window opens where I can create the mail message and then
click on the "Send" button.

It works if I want to reply to the group in Barktopus.  I click on
"Reply group" and a window opens where I can create the message
and then click on the "send" button.

It does NOT work if I want to forward a Barktopus newsgroup message to
friend.  Previously, I could simply click on the "Forward" button
and up would pop a message window.  I'd add comments and click on the
"Send" button.

Not any more.

Now ... clicking on the "Forward" button (or on the
"Reply" -- as opposed to the "Reply Group" -- button)
opens up an edit window that doesn't have a "Send" button.  Nor
is there a "send" command in any of the menus.  Clicking on Help
| About shows that the program is Microsoft Office Outlook.

Well, I've looked and looked and I cannot find a way to get to get OE to
reclaim the Forward functionality.

If anybody has any suggestions, please let me know.
