That means that Outlook 2003 rather Outlook Express is set as your
default mail program and Outlook 2003 is not properly set up for mail.
The service pack for Office 2003 probably changed the default mail
program.

Assuming that you want to use Outlook Express for the reply and forward,
then see:

Also, in Windows XP: Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, Set Program
Access and Defaults, Email

The reply and forward buttons and menu commands have stopped working
properly. Just discovered it and I don't use them all that much, so I
can only guess that it began sometime in the last three weeks or so.

The "unexpected behavior" is that clicking on "reply" or "forward"
brings up an error message: "The file:
drive\directory\directory\outlook.pst could not be found."

The post new message and the reply to group commands are still
working.

Many things have changed in the last three weeks, but the only
possible causes I can think of are five or six security patches to XP,
and the application of Serv. Pack 2 to Office 2003.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

Mike
