subject: Having trouble sending e-mail in OE but works if a reply

If I send an e-mail from one of my accounts on Outlook Express to my
Hotmail address then it doesn't get delivered (although there is no
message saying it has failed, it just doesn't show up at my Hotmail
in-box), but if I send an e-mail from Hotmail to an e-mail address on
one of my Outlook Express accounts then it is received on OE and if I
then use reply it is sent to my Hotmail e-mail address OK.

I am wondering why this happens and if there is a simple setting I can
change to make it work.

Any help very much appreciated.

Using windows XP pro and OE6
