Send To/Mail Recipient, Send button does not work.

[galpd320]

I am stumped. I am using Outlook 2003 on a Windows XP Pro machine. When
I right-click a file and select "send to - mail recipient", everything
functions normally. A message window pops up with the file I
right-clicked attached and a breif message automatically inserted in
the body of the e-mail. However, when I add any valid e-mail address
and click send, nothing happens. When I hover the mouse over the send
button, it highlights like it should, and when I click it, it depresses
like it shoud, but nothing happens. The window stays open, and the
message never gets sent. Sending a message inside Outlook by clicking
"new" works fine, even with an attachment. This only happens when I use
the "send to - mail recipient" option. I would send attachments the
other way, but the "send to - mail recipient" option lets Windows
resize my pictures for me automatically and I want to use that
function.

Any help would be appreciated.

Is Outlook open when you try this?

Yes, Outlook is open and online in the background.
