Chuck or Ethel around please?

[Ice.Maiden]

Having difficulty sending replies to ems. Fresh ones send, but if I click onto reply, I've been getting a message at the top of the screen. I can't send anything until I type out the 8-character thing that I see. Unfortunately, I did that twice, but lost the emails completely. Has my computer been infected now, or is it a genuine thing? If so...where are the ems? I use hotmail through firefox, by the way.
Thanks.

[Ice.Maiden]

Oh don't!!! Everytime I laugh, it makles me cough. Flu bug hasn't gone yet!

Yes, they're safe Chuck.

I am a little at a loss on this one (plus stella and time of night is clouding my brain a little)

do you have cookies enabled? at a guess it could be that.

If not and nobody has offered a good answer by tomorrow I will have a research over my coffee.

Do the emails you are replying to have attachments originally sent. Delete any attachments on your reply.

Other cause could be an error with password....after 3 tries some accounts shut down. The 8character is to confirm your status.

Write your replies on Word, copy & paste rsvp, if the Ems fail all is not lost.

[Ethel]

Please don't chuck our Ethel around.

I don't like it.

[Ice.Maiden]

Thank you everybody.
No, the ems don't have any attachments terambulan. It just happens when I click onto "reply" rather than starting a completely new email back, but it doesn't seem to happen all the time.
I lost two replies yesterday though. because they wouldn't send until I'd typed out the 8 characters. I did so - and then lost what I'd written altogether! I'm hopeless with computers, but know that I haven't done anything out of the ordinary or clicked onto something I shouldn't have.
As for cookies being enabled or otherwise - I haven't a clue! How do I check....? Apologies in advance! : )
