My guess, it is an option that has been set with the original message - I
cannot find it?

After struggling for a couple of weeks, I finally find the problem was caused
by Outlook 2007 not able to handle some web mail address format like this:
Fortunately I found a simple work around for this. Just change the format of
your message to rich text by selecting "Options", "Format" , "Rich Text". You
can send the message without any problem.

I found i had this issue when my signature had an image in it.
Once i removed it i could send it in HTML format.
I have not tried creating a new image yet

Thank you for the fix, but it does not address why. I did not have a malformed address when I received the pop up "Cannot Send this item" - but forwarding an email to a colleague.
The Email *was* composed in HTML, however it had no images in the signature, or elsewhere that I could see.
while your solution "works" it is a kludge - i am more curious about why this happens, especially since the outlook help window provides little information about this pop up message.
give a man an email and he'll read for a day, but teach a man to email and he'll start spamming.
