SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to send a message with Outlook 2000, you may receive the following error message:

Out of Memory or system resources. Try closing other programs to free up memory or other system resources.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior, change your Mail Format to International Options. To do this:
 * 1) Start Outlook 2000.
 * 2) On the Tools menu, click Options.
 * 3) On the Mail Format tab, click International Options.
 * 4) Change both the send this encoding for outgoing messages and the send this encoding for unmarked received messages options from User Defined to Western European (ISO) or Western European (Windows).
 * 5) Click OK twice.

NOTE: You must delete any messages in the Outbox before you try to test the changes with a new message. After the Outbox is empty, new messages should send properly.
