I have unfilled them and tested, and to my great joy, the send worked.

So my problem seems to be solved.  Thank you hugely!

I note however that on my old machine, those entries are filled in and
sending works anyway!

I think I will leave this as being a mystery and get on with life.

I don't know how that could have happened. I must have been messing
about somehow when I took the screenshot.  When I edited the "send"
preferences just now, to remove those entries as suggested, the User ID
field was fine.   Gremlins?

Be that as it may, sending seems to be working now.

Thanks again Paul, and thanks to everyone else who contributed.

sincerely,
