Possible Outlook Express bug/virus?
A friend recently asked me about an odd e-mail problem. It seems the "Reply-to" address in Outlook Express has changed from "maryjones <at> ISP.net" to "work <at> MOMAIL2.mo.gov". She has no recollection of changing the "Reply-to" address. Frankly, I doubt she knows how. Does anyone know anything about this? Is it a bug in Outlook Express? A virus? Plain old user error? Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Not quite sure about this particular bug, but I had another type of bug in OE which fixed itself with the recent Windows update. Make sure your friend's PC is up-to date.

I agree that is normally very wortwhile doing as well as running a virus scan may help see if a virus or spyware has caused the problem as well.

Did she have a house guest who wanted to use email?
