Sending "Reply to Group" messages problem

Interesting problem on Win2k, IE6

When responding to a newsgroup message with reply to group
Am unable to send message
When send is hit, a window pops up that conatins
A blue "i" in a white circle
3 buttons
1 click on-off white box
Unfortunately there is ABSOLUTELY NO text in the window.
There is no explanatory text
There is no "Yes", "No", or "Cancel" inside the 3 buttons
There is no text beside the "checkmark" box
Also NONE of the controls work

Consequently the reply can NOT be sent.

A workaround is to save the message in the "drafts" folder, then go to the
drafts folder, open the message and hit send
This way the message has no problem being sent

A faster approach is to do a "Find" on the "Drafts" folder.
Clicking on the message present to open it, and then hitting send

What is the cause of the "I" (information window) and why is it blocking the
sending of a composed message when opened from a newsgroup folder ?

See a message from D Murray about 10 down.
