I’m defining a new word to describe this problem / opportunity. SNARF for the word SNAG and F for you know what.
A message gets SNARFed, when for no apparent reason,
LookOut, (OutLook’s evil Sybil side), takes:
a perfectly good outbound message that was sitting read to go, as denoted by that BOLD ITALIC font that it has in the outbox with a date of today
AND
changes the date to NONE, removes the BOLD ITALIC font, and it just sits there.
No amount of cajoling will get it out of that state!
One can see other messages whizzing out bypass the “stalled cars”.
Stopping Outlook doesn’t help, though it gripes about unsent messages, so it knows that they are there.
The only solution is to create a brand new message, send that, and nuke the old ones.
Argh! I hate OutLook.
And, yes, the data stores are big, but that would only bear if all messaging stoped.
Argh!!
