One of the first issues that you'll encounter when developing your Windows Sockets applications is the difference between blocking and non-blocking sockets. Whenever you perform some operation on a socket, it may not be able to complete immediately and return control back to your program. For example, a read on a socket cannot complete until some data has been sent by the remote host. If there is no data waiting to be read, one of two things can happen: the function can wait until some data has been written on the socket, or it can return immediately with an error that indicates that there is no data to be read.

What is the difference between send reply and forward?

The difference is that "forward" means that you would like to send that e-mail to someone who wasn't on the send list. "Reply" is when you specifically want to answer the person who just e-mailed you, i.e. I am responding to your question specifically therefore I am replying to it. And finally "send" is when you are finished writing your message and you want to now send it off. So the general order is you either forward or reply, type your message, and then send.
