Hello all,

My Outlook is sending hidden messages (as indicated by the status bar) when I
don't have any, or sometimes one message, in my Outbox. They shouldn't be read
receipts from legitimate Email, because I usually haven't opened any mail that
contains receipt requests (I get VERY little mail from unknown sources, so I would
know). I first noticed this when sending one piece of mail, and the status bar
said sending 1 of 2 messages. Sometimes when I send one message it will start
with "Sending message 2 of 3," then go to 3 of 3, and only then do the one message
I am actually sending, which is 1 of 3. I can tell which message is the one I am
intentionally sending by the fact of when it moves from the Outbox folder. No
messages ever appear in the Outbox or Sent Items folders, other than the messages
I am intentionally sending.

Any opinions on this would be appreciated. I was thinking one of you young
computer hackers might have written a patch that forces Outlook to display every
single message being sent, whether a receipt or not, in the Outbox folder. Not
sure why that wouldn't be a useful anti-spam option for MS to put on Outlook from
the factory.

By the by, I really doubt I picked up a virus or tracker with my daily-updated AV
software and routine business-only browsing habits, but I suppose you never know..
