When you say it won't let you exactly what do you mean. are you getting
errors or what?


When I hit send and receive the posts go off except the odd one when a
message comes up saying it could not be posted for some reason or other -
'subject line length too long' is one I remember seeing. The unsent
message just sits in the Outbox and won't go. The way out is to swipe the
entire message and cut and paste it into a new post which of course starts
a new thread.


It's always the same error IME, "Error 441, line 3 too long" or something
similar. It seems to occur when the thread has been going for a long time
and I've already contributed quite a lot of posts too it. I take as a hint
that maybe it's time to start a new thread as by then the old one has almost
certainly split into multiple sub-threads, non related to the original
subject line, as the "Technics direct drive turntable" thread had by the
time I started to get problems with it.

I know OE can get confused, but a restart usually fixes
these problems


Not these it doesn't.

Very true, it doesn't.
