Well, this wasn't a very sophisticated user so I don't think they would likely have changed the settings. However I can't be sure. It's also possible this resulted from some particular order of installing software. > > FROM_AND_TO_SAME_5 1.314 > > I tried sending myself an HTML message with Outlook 2000, and this is the > only one it matched.

I may have to consider that. On the other hand, I haven't more complaints about mistagged messages yet, so I think I will wait and see what happens. Sometimes you have to have a little faith in the GA.
