Default SPOOFED

Hi
I am hoping that someone can help me. A number of my e-mails
are arriving with the word SPOOFED: in front of the subject. I can get
rid of this by opening the e-mail in its own window and deleting the
word SPOOFED. I was wondering if anyone knows why this is happening as
it is a bit of a nuisance with regular e-mailers who send stuff to me
perfectly legally.

Ian

Your ISP is adding that word. Outlook doesn't have the capability for doing
it.

Check with your e-mail provider to see if they are adding the tag. Or
check what anti-spam or anti-virus software you are using that might
be adding the tag. This is not an Outlook issue.

Stop spamming the newsgroups with your personal choice for anti-virus
software. Turn off the option to "verify" your posts with their SPAM.
