Outlook.com

I use the outlook.com email service.  Initially it worked just fine.  For some reason I n the past couple of months I have been unable to respond or forward emails.  I have asked for help in the past with no avail.  I am considering closing down my outlook.com service, but first I wanted to give it another shot at fixing the problem.

Actually, I really like the Outlook.com service as it allows be to consolidate multiple email addresses, but I am about to give up on that.  Another note, seems that outlook.com wants to attached files (EML) to responses and forwards of received emails.  I don't know if that is causing my problem or not.
