The problem is not getting rid of the mail, the problem is that the mail
never gets sent.

I'm trying to send the mail, not delete it.

This happens with simple 80kb emails and not ones with big attachments so
size is not the problem.

As stated before, the mail does not get sent out. If I hit Send/Recieve,
Outlook reports Mail sent without attempting to send it.

Running Outlook 2003 on XP service pack 2

Sometimes I send an email and it goes to the outbox but immediately the
font in the outbox changes from italics to regular. I can sometimes move
it to the draft folder and resend and it goes correctly, other times it
gets stuck again.

When I do a send/ recieve, it never attempts to send the mail and just
ignores that it's in the outbox.

I've tried restarting Outlook, putting it into offline mode and then back
to online and also rebooting the PC to no avail. Mail sent after the mail
in question gets hung up go through with not problem.

There seems to be no rhyme or reason to this problem.

Any ideas?
