When I type an e-mail address into the TO field, nothing gets
underlined. If you select an address from the address book, the NAME
gets inserted and underlined, not the e-mail address. The e-mail
address is not visible. The e-mail address comes from the address book.
So if you are having a problem with that, then the entry in the address
book is wrong.

If you are using autocomplete, then again the name is displayed in the
TO line, but the actual e-mail address is coming from the address book.

If you are using the e-mail address as the address book name, then you
still need to check the address book to see that the e-mail address in
the e-mail address field is correct.

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?
