Outlook Express is labeling legitimate emails as spam

Gaard · Mar 11, 2003

*****spam*****
THat's usually put in the subject line of all the spam I get. Lately, though, OE is putting it in the subject line of some legitimate emails and when I open them up, it's all garbled. Like this:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

I being the most skeptical person I know am amazed at how this program knew
which one I was looking at! See if it works for you...

Is there a way I can fix this?

What program are you using that generates the *****spam***** part of the subject? OE doesn't do that by itself.

I don't know. What kind of programs would affect OE? WinXP updates itself a couple of times a week, would that do it? I also have an IE spellchecker installed...would IE programs affect OE?
