you might have observed that outbox is having several messages waiting to get sent out. you have noticed that some of these messages have a date and are written in italics. Other messages have no date and are in Roman. Upon sending and receiving, the ones in italics get sent but the ones in Roman hang in the Outbox.
What is the difference and how can you fix this without needing to recreate the messages?
If the message is not in italics and doesn’t hold a date, it is not ready for submission and will hang in your Outbox until it gets resubmitted again.
This hanging issue often happens when the message gets opened (via a double click) from the Outbox, for instance, in order to modify something. If you do, do not use the Close button when done modifying the message, but make sure to press the Send button again to put it back in the queue.
Another visual difference is the icon of the message itself. Messages which are ready to be sent hold the stamped sending envelope icon while messages which are not ready to be sent hold an open envelope icon with the message outside of the envelope (which is the same icon as messages which are saved as a drafts). the same reasons contribute for above issue in Windows XP and Windows 7.
