Any know why when you have junk email filters on, and you
receive an email with $$$ in it, it is sent to the junk
email folder?

Certainly. The Junk Mail filter looks for strings of multiple dollar signs
and flags the message as junk because people don't usually put multiple
dollar signs in genuine mail.

You can't adjust what the junk mail filter recognizes, but you can certainly
decide whether ot not to enable the filter. Moreover, in Outlook 2003 (you
don't say what version of Outlook you use), you can adjust how aggressive
the filter is.
