Michael, I understand that a blank is illegal within an email address.
The problem is, I didn't type that SPACE char. It was because every
char I typed on the TO line got underscored automatically. May be when
the address was interepreted, the underscore was removed. So when I
typed a real underscore in, it got removed and it became a blank char.
So I was asking if there is any way to turn that 'automatic underscore'
option off, if it was an option.

That's normal. And not a real problem.
Since a blank is not valid in an e-mail address, if you see just the
under line within the address, that's a underscore.
For example, my e-mail address is:
That's an underscore after "michael". If somehow it had been mistyped
with a space instead it would appear as
michael
which wouldn't work.
As for your e-mails getting rejected, there is something else going on.

When I typed the address in the TO field, every character was
underlined. If I wanted to send a mail to an address that has an
underscore, the email always got rejected. How can I stop Outlook
Express from underlining the addresses that I typed in so that I can
see the 'real' underscore of the address?
