Barbara W had this to say:

My reply is at the bottom of your sent message:

Galen, thanks for your reply. However, my default has always been
Outlook XP, not OE. I don't want OE to be the default email client,
I use Outlook XP as my default, only using OE for "private" emails.
This problem only started happening about a month ago so I don't
think it is a case of the default being changed.

The thing that I find strange is that the email Account that I have
in OE isn't in the Accounts list for Outlook XP, yet XP will take
over Sending the email. That is what has me really confused, and
what I am trying to stop.

Let me see if I understand this correctly...

You're sitting there in OE (not clicking on an email link or anything) and
you type up a message from within OE. You click reply or what not - not a
link or the likes. You compose the message in OE, you click send within OE,
OE does the appearing to send thing _maybe - I'm not sure about that bit_
but it is actually being sent from Outlook. Or does it show up, when you
click send, as Outlook taking over at that point and sending it? Does it
show up in the sent messages in Outlook to? What's the "From" address that
the email has when the other person gets the email?

(I must say that I've never seen anything quite like this again.)
