Outlook Express sends double messages

[JustinF]

My dad is having a problem. He uses Outlook Express as his email program, and when he sends messages, some of the recipients (me included) get double messages. It only seems to be with forwarded messages though, if he writes me personally, everything seems to be ok. I really don't know what to tell him. I'll see him in about 3 weeks at which time I'm planning on just reinstalling the software. Anyone have any other suggestions I could pass along to him?

Thanks

start off by checking for a virus of some kind.
In particular this one.

A big feature with IE5 is that
it can be repaired without uninstalling . Here is how to do it . Open
Control Panel , Add / Remove , click on Internet Explorer , then click
on add / remove down the bottom . This opens a window with 3 choices .

Choice 1. Add , insert your IE5 install program & you can find other
items you may not have installed 1st time .

Choice 2. Repair , fixes problems that may crop up with IE5 / Outlook

Choice 3. If unfixable , removes IE5 & goes back to IE4 , now if you
want to you can reinstall IE5 or a later version or another browser
altogether .

Is he set to leave messages on server?

This could be the problem.

Give this a try...

Go over to www.mailstart.com and log in and get your mail from there. If there are copies of any messages that you have already sent/received there, delete them from there.
