That makes sense in that it only happens in replies and not new messages.

The next thing to check would be to see if that gets in messages from
others. A simple way to do this would be to send a new HTML message to
herself. If the script shows up in the Inbox on receipt, then it would
indicate that it is being added on her end rather than yours.

In that case, potential culprits would include her anti-virus set to scan
e-mail as it downloads or an anti-spam program.

It could be that one of those is including the script as a means to
communicate to the user when viewing about the message potentially
containing a virus or being spam.

Hi Michael,

Further corrected information re this problem. I was mistaken in one
area in that I thought the incoming message was clean and replying added
the line of code. This is not true. Upon further questions to her and
checking I find that:

If I send her an email in html, the message in my 'sent items' is clean.
When it arrives in her inbox, the line of code has been added. So
either her machine is adding this code on receipt of the email, or it is
being added along the way. Any further ideas???

: : : : : Thanks Michael,
: : : : :
: : : : : I had already checked her machine to make sure she is not
: : : : : using any stationery or business cards in her emails. We
: : : : : have also run a virus scan (latest defs), Adaware and Spybot
: : : : : and all were clean.
: : : : :
: : : : : Further puzzling info on this: It is only being added to
: : : : : replies, not original emails.
: : : : :
: : : : : She sent me an original html email which did NOT have the
: : : : : script problem. I replied to this clean original html email
: : : : : from her.
: : : : :
: : : : : My reply to this email: I checked the html code for anything
: : : : : like what
: : : : : she is getting just to make sure it isn't originating on my
: : : : : machine and
: : : : : it was clean.
: : : : :
: : : : : When she replied to my reply, the script was added and the
: : : : : error occurred. We did this twice to makes sure of what was
: : : : : happening. This
: : : : : also occurs if she replies to an html email originated on my
: : : : : machine.
: : : : :
: : : : : Why this is being added to only replies and not original html
: : : : : email is beyond reason. Any help appreciated!!
