Can Not Reply To Emails

Running Windows 7 Professional with latest version of WLM. I get email
messages I can not reply to. The reply button is grayed out. For now I am
forwarding them to my WinXP computer and then replying from that computer
with OE6. Anybody have any ideas?

Brought to you from Anchorage, Alaska.

The most obvious reason for not having an active Reply button is
not having a mail account set up.

If I am receiving email I must have an account setup. It is not all of the
emails I can not reply to but just some.

Look at the Message source (Ctrl-F3) for the problem messages.

Look at the From header to see if there is anything wrong with it.

Also look at the Reply-to header if present.

Will look for the the reply to header. I guess the only thing I can do in
this situation is copy the message and then past it into a new email where I
have written my reply. It also means I will have to add the addresses to
the To box. I really do not have to forward them to my other computer.
