I am using Outlook 2002 as my main mail program. On occassion I recieve an "unspecified error" when replying to messages with outlook, my anti virus is AVG 8.0, I have certify mail unchecked. Any ideas

Quoted from experts exchange:
You probably have MS Word as editor. Temporarily disable MS Word as editor. Go to Tools > Options > Mail Format and uncheck the option.

I'd disable Word as the email editor completely; not temporarily.
eee, just for future reference; there is an Office Software Forum for Outlook questions.
Life's more painless for the brainless.

Thanks for the advice however permanent disble is out of the question, I would prefer a solution rather than a work around if there is one. I will try temporary disable to see if that works out.

Is this a Mapi error? Have you googled the error? Lots of hits.
Life's more painless for the brainless.

Well and truely googled but the only solution that is offered is to turn off certification in the antivirus program, which is alreadt disabled

Unspecified Error & Interface Not Registered Error in Microsoft Outlook w/ MS Word as the editor.
Hello,
When using Microsoft Word as an email editor through MS Outlook 2002/2003 you may encounter an "Unspecified Error" when sending email. Some KB articles will state it's an issue with HTML content within the word editor.
So by going into Tools, Options, and changing HTML format to PLAIN TEXT it removes that error, but it also replaces it with another error called "Interface not registered."
The 2nd error message tells us that there is an issue with the registry and by following this example below you should be able to remove this error message from your machine.
Others have mentioned that this is caused by Microsoft Outlook ADD-In's or Adobe 6.0 products that try to integrate themselves with Word, Outlook, and browsers. These Outlook add-in's somehow interfere with the regular tasks that Word and Outlook handle and create a bug in the registry.
The fix for this issue is the following MS KB Article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/870707
This should work for Outlook 2002 or Outlook 2003.
