Default Outlook suddenly unstable - Eats my email!

Thanks Ken. I will turn off my Spy Sweeper With Antivirus so that it no
longer scans my email attachments. You'd think they would fix this glaring
problem!!
Thanks for your help. I'm all set now.

Scanning incoming emails is known to cause blank bodies with all content
lost in Outlook 2007. Scanning outgoing emails can cause:
1. sending to a black hole. The logon to the server times out while the
email is being scanned and the scanner sends it out anyway. Result is you
think the email went but it went nowhere.
2. Multiple sends. I've had hundreds of dupe emails sent to me every
minute for a couple of hours due to outgoing scanning.

It's completely redundant. If your AV is up to date when you attempt to open
an attachment or something you saved to the file system the AV will scan it
anyway. If you are uninfected and up to date you aren't infected so you
won't be sending out any viruses.

Thank you, Ken. I ended the add-in -- thanks, I couldn't figure out how to
do
that!
But a question: You say that the anti-virus scans of email is
"completely unnecessary". Why is that? I never heard that before. I
thought
it was an important thing to do.
Thanks for your help - this is great!
