New posts (or e-mails for that matter) are always written to the Outbox.
If the Send Immediately option is checked, then OE will TRY to send it
to the server immediately after writing it to the Oubox.. This may fail
for a variety of reasons, such as your Internet connection is down, or
the server is not responding in a timely manner. In that case, OE will
try again later when you either click the Send and Receive button, the
timer interval occurs if you've set Tools, Options, General, Check for
messages every xx minutes or you send another message.

News posts, e-mail, or both?

I only use it for NG posts.



Tools | Options | Send. Is Send messages immediately checked?

Yes. And sometimes it sends immediately, and sometimes it saves them
to outbox.

On my computer, OE sometimes immeidately sends new posts, and
sometimes puts them in the outbox to send later.

Anyway to fix this so it always sends immediatley?

Also,

Dragon natural speaking doesn't work as well in OE as in other
programs.

At first it worked fine, but then for some reason the "-" stopped
working
for correction, and the the first letter of sentences stopped being
capitalized.

Anybody know what's going or how to fix it?
