Outlook Express Sends Multiple emails

Steven@nospam.net

A friend of mine has recently had problems with the Outlook Express
built into Windows XP.

When he forwards a message 10 or 15 copies of the same message get
sent instead of just one. If he just creates and sends a new message
everything is fine.

He has scanned the entire hard disk with an up to date anti-virus
program (McAfee) and has no computer viruses.

Using System Restore built into XP doesn't help.

What could be causing this problem?

Unknown

Do a google search on the internet of 'multiple emails'. There was a history
of this happening with antivirus programs. You might want to shut down any
virus scan programs and test.

Just to concur with Unknown, see this:

Do you think if he installed Outlook rather than Outlook Express
that the problem would be solved?

Possibly, but have you tried disabling your anti-virus e-mail scanner?

Do these forwarded messages contain large attachments?

Turn off email scanning in McAfee. It adds no protection.
