For some reason I am now getting this error popup:

Outlook Express could not post your message. Subject '(No Subject)',
Account: 'localhost ', Server: 'localhost', Protocol: NNTP, Server Response:
'441 Posting Failed (Required "Subject" Header is missing)', Port: 8119,
Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 441, Error Number: 0x800CCCA9

The message still posts but I would like to get rid of this popup. Anyone
with some knowledge of this?

TIA

AV

There may be a message stuck in your outbox. Close OE and delete =
outbox.dbx and
then OE will make a new one.

That says that you are trying to post a message without a Subject.
Assuming that you aren't regularly doing that, there is different
message in the Outbox that is failing to post.

Select the Outbox folder, then View, Current View, Show all Messages.
Highlight the problem message and press delete.

1. localhost is your own computer, not an external server. A lot of
anti-virus and other programs set to scan email will screw up this setting
like that.
2. 441 you need to fill in a subject.
3. Never heard of a new server using port 8119.
4. 0x800CCCA9 NNTP_POST_FAILED Unable to post to server.
