Now your getting the picture. An email comes in I click Reply, type my
message, click Send. The OE Outbox never shows the email. If I quickly
switch to Outlook XP the email is in the Outbox! When it is done it is in
the Sent folder of Outlook XP. The email address used shows as the email
address I have only in OE.

The only non-standard thing about my email programs is that I use Qurb by CA
as a Spam filter. I've been using Qurb since May and only in the last few
weeks has this been happening. It runs with both email programs.

I've had one other strange problem with OE lately. I use Profiles with OE
and sometimes you can't logoff the Identity with Outlook XP running. You
have to manually close Outlook XP using Task Manager, then come back to OE
and try logging off again. Sometimes even that doesn't work and you have to
use Task Manager to close OE.

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.)
