For those keeping track - I got it, but that wasn't the issue. Typo in
Nsproto: mailto%a instead of mailto:%a

Thanks for the help!

I didn't set anything like that, but who knows?

Well, I can't contact her right now, but I believe she is not
receiving my mail anymore.

TF> No, it sounds like she your you POP data set up in her OL. She is

Well, the headers contained *me* as the sender and *her* as the
recipient for all these messages. In addition, she would need to guess
my POP3 login/pass to check my mail. I beieve she didn't even try to.
Furthermore, I think she received these messages as "normal" incoming
mail (she could read them on the Hotmail website as well, not only in
Outlook).

I used to check my mail on her comp occasionally, but it' been a long
time since I last touched her PC, and she has made several clean
system installs (involving fdisk and HDD formatting) since then.

Sometimes she uses my dial-up account to connect, but the logins and
passes are different for dial-up and mail...

Cheers,

Gergely

And did you check TB's logfile to see if it "assumes" being the author of
the crime?

And your friend still has the messages she received? Then you could take a
look on their headers to see the path they followed. You could see your
(temporary at that time) IP as the originating computer, or TB as X-Mailer.
Or, on the contrary, nothing related to you, in which case you should accuse
the server (personally I don't think this possibility will verify). Or you
could see the IP of your company's smtp server, in which case your brand new
OE6 is quilty.

Well, if the server is a normal POP3 or IMAP, nothing. If it's Exchange,
I've no idea about their interaction:) But this means that it's quite
possible that you messed up something with OE6 and in 5 minutes it sent the
messages to your friend (I assume at work you use a faster internet
connection than at home).

Ooops, sorry, I thought this thread was dead. Yep, I used Computer
Associates' InoculateIT PE to check the comp... Clean. And the Sorting
Office is clean as well, there's nothing in there.

What puzzles me (besides the whole thing sounding insane of course :)
is that sending dozens of meassages should take some time, and I don't
remember anything like that. (And my friend received more than 100
messages in maybe two days, so we aren't talking about a single
event.)

Is it possible that it was the mail server that messed things up
somehow? Thinking back, I also set up this same e-mail account on a
WindowsXP/OE6 config at my working place recently, but I deleted the
account from that comp in about five mins. Who knows what OE6 can do
in five minutes though? =)

My friend said that she solved the problem by removing Outlook from her
PC, but this sounds even more insane. I know for sure she's not lying
though.

Cheers,

An off-subject question that I have, is prompted by this reply.  How
am I able to see/read the above quoted message?  Yes I do have the
whole thread, and I can scroll to the message, but I would like to
click/double-click/right click on the message to go to it.  How?

I have no connection with these people, other than using their
product.  Free personal edition of a good anti-virus prog' at

My sorting office is empty. As I said, it's an almost 100% default
configuration of TB. If I can recreate this, we have a huge bug
here...
