I have two strange problems with Outlook 2002. If someone can help, I'd be
very grateful.

1. When responding to an email, or creating a new email, I click on
"Send" but the message doesn't go out until I click on "Send/Receive" at
the top of the screen. I don't know why this is so.

2. I send mail to various discussion lists. My gmail website shows that
the mail has gone to "sent mail" on the google server, but I don't see
where the posts have gotten to the lists. This has not happened when
using Opera, my previous choice for mail/news.

Any ideas? Thanks.
