What can cause 1/2 of a Windows Messenger conv to be blocked?



At my company, we use mostly WinXPSP1. We have Windows Messenger 5.1
(on my laptop, at least).

We use Windows Messenger a lot. Quite often I run into a situation
where I'm talking to someone on WM and they stop replying to me. I
then see in my email box a note from that person saying that it
started saying "could not deliver" when replying to my messages. When
this happens, the only thing I can find to fix this is to sign out of
WM, which closes all my existing WM windows (which is a real pain
sometimes).

What can cause this, and is there something we can do to resolve this?
